** This course will provide the participant with 2 General Learning Type BACB® CEU**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: This CEU explores nutrition-related behavior through the lens of behavior-analytic self-management. Participants will examine how behavior analysts can apply concepts such as stimulus discrimination, stimulus equivalence, self-monitoring, reinforcement, response effort, stimulus control, shaping, and visual analysis to everyday nutrition choices. The course reviews macronutrients, nutrition labels, food tracking, and calorie balance as measurable variables that support informed decision-making and data-based behavior change. Through practical examples and real-world applications, participants will learn how behavior-analytic principles can be used to promote sustainable nutrition habits and long-term health behaviors.
