Mostly things go smoothly because I have an incredible team of professionals from the back kitchen to the cameramen. The biggest challenge for me is the pace.

The shoot days are often 12 hours long for days on end, and it's a challenge to approach each segment with the same effervescent energy. TD : You are one of the few dietitians to break into television. How did this happen for you? Krieger: That quote about luck being the intersection where preparation and opportunity meet really applies here. As soon as I learned that there were dietitians employed in the media I began working toward that goal, as it suited my skills and interest in both the field of nutrition and the performing arts.

I did modeling and TV commercials with Wilhelmina Models to pay my way through college, so I had some experience there. After getting my undergraduate degree in clinical nutrition from Cornell I pursued a master's in nutrition education from Teachers College at Columbia University with an emphasis in journalism.

Once I graduated I started pitching ideas to TV producers and magazine editors and got a lot of rejections. But a couple of small opportunities arose and eventually I landed a hosting job for a TV show where they wanted a health professional. That show, called Living Better with Ellie Krieger , was canceled after two seasons, but it helped me launch my first book, Small Changes, Big Results.

A producer from Food Network saw my book and asked me to come in for a meeting, and that's what led to Healthy Appetite. Now I have six books under my belt, two regular Washington Post columns, and the new show! TD : Can you give a few tips for dietitians hoping to break into television?

Krieger: Take advantage of all the new media at our disposal to hone your on-camera skills and develop your voice and your following. Pitch ideas to local news producers, and cultivate relationships with them. Once you get some experience on the local level you can pitch national shows. Be ready to get a lot of ignored e-mails and "no"s, but don't give up. Also, don't just focus on TV.

To survive in the media world you have to cultivate multiple platforms. TD : What are some tips for appearing professional and resonating with viewers when you're on television? Krieger: Have no more than three main points that you want to get across at the top of your mind so you don't get bogged down with too many details—TV segments speed by.

And be very well prepared, but once you get on set, shake it off, have fun, and just roll with it. Genuinely connect with the host if you're a guest on a show. If you worry too much about being perfect, you'll come across as mechanical and not relatable. TD : Your books have inspired me and many other nutrition professionals. Your latest cookbook You Have It Made: Delicious, Healthy Do-Ahead Meals is no different and provides recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, each with easy-to-follow instructions for storing and reheating.

How can nutrition professionals use your latest cookbook to help clients? Krieger: As dietitians know, many people struggle to cook tasty, healthful meals for their families because their schedules are so hectic. The idea of You Have It Made is to help people get over that hurdle by cooking in advance.

The book is designed to give you everything you need to turn your fridge and freezer into a treasure chest of delicious, healthful options. Besides being a beautiful book with stunning photos, I see it as an excellent nutrition education resource, because if nutrition professionals can enable people to cook more they can be more effective in helping them on their path to wellness.

TD : Why do you feel it's important to provide exact portions along with the full rundown of nutrient information in every one of your recipes?
