Learning Objectives
- Describe what a trainer is legally allowed to cover in regards to nutrition.
- Explain the basic elements of nutrition, to include macronutrients and micronutrients.
- Offer basic tips and counsel on grocery shopping for a client’s goals.
- Pick out misinformation and prevent its spread.
- Identify proper portion sizes.
It’s out of the scope of practice for the overwhelming majority of personal trainers, but you will likely be the only connection your client has to legitimate information.
So what can you do?
Well, FitFixNow’s own Jane Curth has partnered with Paula Sturm, Registered Dietician, and Kyle Brown, Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, to provide a basic guide that has all of the proper facts so that you will know the basics.
Remember, unless you are a registered dietician, it is essential that you adhere to the standards of your certifying organization in terms of what you are and are not allowed to advise with your clients.
