Every society on the earth has its own distinct food habits and customs—which mainly bases on local availability of food resources. Due to dearth of awareness and socio-economic conditions people suffer from malnutrition. To satiate the hunger or to fill stomach with food is not enough. A ‘balanced diet’ i.e. scientific combination of nutritive ingredients like protein, fats, vitamins etc. with prescribed calorific value is necessary for proper and healthy growth of human body. Hence the need of nutrition education. An attempt is made here in this book to compile authoritative information on nutrition education. The scientific information is contained in well-organised eight chapters namely—general information, diet planning; food and nutrients; teaching nutrient; health education; role of teacher; curriculum construction; and training teacher. The contents will benefit all the concerned.
