After we spent a morning filming Registered Dietitian Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, with her family, one truth became clear: Nutritionists are human, too. They look for ways to take care of their bodies despite their busy schedules, treat themselves occasionally, and deal with picky eaters in their homes.

Sitting down for a nutritious breakfast is mandatory — “no ifs, ands, or buts about it” — in Largeman-Roth’s home in Brooklyn, New York.
