Abstract
The term behavioral nutrition was introduced at the conception of the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (IJBNPA) twenty-one years ago but it was not formally defined. This commentary describes and contrasts behavioral nutrition against other branches of nutrition sciences such as clinical nutrition and nutritional epidemiology. Examples of how IJBNPA has contributed to the development of behavioral nutrition is provided before concluding with some suggestions for further development. We hope that this will lead to more relevant and innovative submissions of behavioral nutrition research to IJBNPA.
