We’ve all heard the saying – you are what you eat. This is especially true when it comes to the positive effects of proper nutrition on overall health.
Unfortunately, not everyone knows what the right things are to eat. That’s where the guidance of a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) can be beneficial. However, finding a nutrition coach in your area or one who can accommodate your busy schedule may not be a piece of cake. Fortunately, thanks to telehealth, you can receive the nutrition coaching you need online from the comfort of your home.
Here’s what you should know about online nutrition coaching.
Why You Need Online Nutrition Coaching
Using an online nutrition coach is a great way to not only learn about proper nutrition but also to have someone who can monitor your nutritional plan and help you achieve your health and weight management goals faster than if you went it alone.
An RD or RDN is an expert in the field of food and nutrition. As such, they are often needed to provide medical nutrition therapy to people afflicted with diseases or conditions that can be improved through healthy nutrition. Nutritionists also help individuals – both in-person and online – without health conditions. They provide general nutrition recommendations and meal plans specific to the person they are working with.
A nutrition coach is a licensed nutritionist who educates clients and provides support related to their nutrition and lifestyle. They are experts on various areas of nutrition, including but not limited to:
- Macronutrients and how they affect the body
- Digestion
- Hydration
- Calories
- Metabolism
- Energy balance and transfers
- Fat loss
- Muscle gain
An online nutrition coach can track your markers of progress, such as your body weight, composition, mood, energy levels, sleep, stress levels, and hunger, as a means of creating a program or plan that helps you meet your specific goals, be it better health, increased performance, weight loss, and/or ongoing weight management.
How A Nutrition Coach Can Help You
As part of a personalized program, a nutrition coach can:
- Determine your individual caloric needs based on the information you provide and your specific goals.
- Formulate a macronutrient profile based on your caloric needs, goals, food preferences, and individualized exercise regimen.
- Teach you how to read food labels, identify healthier food items, and choose balanced portion sizes.
- Direct you to relevant and helpful nutrition information.
- Inform you of the pros and cons of different styles of eating, so you can decide on the best approach for you.
- Educate you about the benefits of certain food groups and macronutrients.
- Work with you to set realistic nutritional goals and expectations.
Whether collaborating online or in-person, a nutrition coach can provide support for a wide variety of personal goals, ranging from weight or fat loss to muscle gain, performance improvement, and improving your overall mindset toward food.
