Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the male-targeted telenutrition weight loss program in terms of recruitment, retention and satisfaction and
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the telenutrition program compared to usual care (informational only) with regard to primary and secondary outcome measures at 12 weeks. We hypothesized that men receiving virtual and telephonic support from a registered dietitian nutritionist would have greater weight loss and greater improvements in diet quality than men who were only provided educational materials.

Individualized caloric recommendations (500-750 kcal reduction) were made and food-based educational materials emphasizing general healthful eating patterns and increased intakes of nutrient-rich foods were provided.
Self-monitoring tools
Self-monitoring tools including: weekly weight log, fruit and vegetable tracker, and a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound) goal planner were provided.
Enhanced Usual Care Control
Participants receive diet-related educational materials and self-monitoring tools.
Diet-related educational materials
Individualized caloric recommendations (500-750 kcal reduction) were made and food-based educational materials emphasizing general healthful eating patterns and increased intakes of nutrient-rich foods were provided.
Self-monitoring tools
