Top takeaways: nutritional interventions for the child with overweight and obesity. Shown are the top takeaways from the OMA regarding nutritional interventions for the child with obesity.

1.	Improvement in weight status in children with overweight and obesity is possible regardless of the macronutrient distribution in an energy-reduced diet.
2.	The choice of which macronutrient option to implement is based on a thorough assessment with the family along with shared decision making.
3.	Frequent evaluation of the macronutrient choice allows for adjustment or change to a better option, reducing wasted time and frustration.
4.	All nutritional interventions are more effective in combination with activity and behavioral counseling, which includes addressing conditions detrimental to the child/family's social determinants of health.
