Nutrition plans and personal trainers

September 11, 2024, 12:05:51 PM

I would like to post up a reminder that it is outside the scope of practice for personal trainer as well as sport and fitness coaches to provide meal plans as part of the training they offer. They can offer general nutrition advice within the national nutrition guidelines for their country.

The only people who can write meal plans are registered dieticians. Not nutritionists. Nutritionists is a term anybody can call themselves with no qualifications or weekend certificate. Buyer beware.
