Abstract
The promotion of healthy habits is thought to be an important element in the role of health care professionals (HCPs). The aim of this study was to analyze eating habits and culinary skills of HCPs, and how they transfer those skills during clinical practice. A total of 95 HCPs participated in a cross-sectional descriptive question-based survey, which assessed HCPs' eating habits, culinary skills, and promotion of habits. HCPs who received previous training in nutrition had better eating habits and generally promoted healthy eating to patients.
