What is Nutrition FIT?
Nutrition FIT is a personalized dietary assessment and plan tailored to fit your lifestyle, goals, and nutrition needs. Whether working towards weight loss or your first marathon, Nutrition FIT can help prepare you to meet your goals. To enhance your Nutrition Fit, we offer two special packages. Nutrition FIT Gold includes our Calorie FIT or Body Comp FIT and saves you $25. With our Nutrtition FIT Platinum you will receive both the Calorie FIT and Body Comp FIT at a savings of $40.
Each individual consultation includes a detailed evaluation of current intake. Intake evaluations consist of a lifestyle assessment, caloric breakdown, and meal plan development with a registered and licensed dietitian. Nutrition counseling is beneficial for a variety of needs: weight loss, sport specific (endurance, strength, competitive sport), general health, as well as specific health and dietary concerns (vegan, pregnancy, diabetes, celiac disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol).
When scheduling a Nutrition FIT, you will be provided with the necessary tools to track your current diet for analysis. Precise analysis and breakdown of macro and micronutrient composition is available if desired through Nutrition Pro software.
