Not tailored enough | Some participants found the content was not tailored enough for their needs and level of nutrition knowledge/ skills | Some of the information was very basic, to me, and not helpful. But for others I could see it being helpful It was not specific enough, it was aimed primarily at people who are not as informed with healthy diets |
