Pediatric and Teen Dietitian in Austin, TX

Feeding kids and teens can feel complicated.

Maybe your child is barely eating enough. Maybe meals have become stressful. Maybe they are growing, playing sports, dealing with stomach issues, becoming more selective with food, or starting to talk about their body in ways that worry you.

At Khan RD, we provide pediatric nutrition counseling for children, teens, and families who need practical support around food, growth, energy, eating patterns, food anxiety, selective eating, sports nutrition, and eating disorder recovery.

Non-Diet Nutrition Support for Kids Without Pressure

We help families support nutrition, growth, and health while reducing shame, pressure, and food fear.

We Can Help With:

Our approach:

Depending on your child’s needs, sessions may include:

  • Reviewing current intake and meal patterns

  • Supporting growth and nutrition adequacy

  • Building realistic meal and snack structure

  • Reducing pressure around food

  • Supporting food variety at a realistic pace

  • Helping parents respond to food refusal or food anxiety

  • Sports fueling for active kids and teens

  • Nutrition support during eating disorder recovery

  • Coordinating with physicians, therapists, coaches, or other providers when appropriate

We do not put kids on diets. We do not make body size the center of care.

Food can be stressful for the whole family.

When a child is not eating enough, eating very selectively, avoiding foods, or becoming distressed around meals, parents can feel stuck between wanting to help and not wanting to make things worse.

Pediatric nutrition counseling can help your family build more structure around eating while lowering the pressure at meals.

Pediatric and Teen Nutrition Counseling FAQs:

  • A dietitian can help identify what may be getting in the way of consistent eating, adequate intake, food variety, growth, or comfort around meals.

    Support may involve the child, the parents, or both depending on age and situation.

  • Yes. Khan RD works with teens navigating nutrition concerns, sports fueling, underfueling, eating disorder recovery, body image concerns, food anxiety, digestive symptoms, and inconsistent eating.

    Teen sessions are handled with respect, privacy, and appropriate parent involvement.

  • Yes. We support selective eating, food aversions, and limited food variety.

    If the eating pattern appears more intense, persistent, or anxiety-driven, we may also assess whether ARFID nutrition support would be a better fit.

  • Lots of kids go through picky phases and grow out of them. ARFID is different: eating is limited enough to affect growth, nutrition, energy, or daily life, and it's driven by things like sensory sensitivity, fear of choking or vomiting, or low interest in food, not body image. If meals are a daily fight, the list of safe foods keeps shrinking, or your pediatrician has raised growth concerns, it's worth an evaluation.
