One of the neat things about food & being a dietitian is that it's not as easy as good vs bad. For example:
A 240 cal milkshake🧋? Not great for person who needs to monitor carb/sugar intake but may be perfect for person who's lost wt due to cancer treatment & has taste changes..
...or how about a high protein🥩 meal? may be good for an athlete trying to to build/maintain muscle mass but not good for someone with PKU. Whole wheat/high fiber cereal?🥣 good for someone trying to increase fiber for gut health---bad for someone w/ celiac disease.

...or how about a big bowl of fresh fruit🍐🍑🥝🍇🍓? Great for many of us who enjoy fruit or the taste and fiber - but not good for a child with a seizure disorder who needs to follow a ketogenic (low carb) diet for seizures. Nutrition & food can be complicated! #whatRDsDo
...someone who's #vegan may use aquafaba from chickpeas to sub for egg whites...but if a person has issues w/FODMAPs it may cause discomfort.
if a person needs sources of IRON,red meat🥩 might be recommended...but not if they have alpha gal meat allergy caused by ticks
