Every eating disorder dietitian remembers the moment the theory ran out — the first assessment that didn't go the way any textbook described, the first hard meal without a supervisor in the room, the first lab value that didn't mean what it looked like it meant. The training nobody gives you before your first shift. This is the guide built for that moment. Across eight parts and forty-six chapters, The Eating Disorder Dietitian's Field Guide covers what a working ED RD actually needs: telling adequacy from rigidity in an assessment, knowing when a restriction is medical and when it's the eating disorder, reading labs as a pattern instead of a verdict, what to actually say during a hard meal, working with — and sometimes disagreeing with — the rest of the treatment team, and recognizing exactly when a decision shouldn't be made alone.
