- Are you wondering what you can tell you clients when it comes to nutrition?
Do you know exactly what it means to be a nutritionist?
As a trainer, knowing what you can discuss nutrition-wise with your clients while staying within your scope of practice can be tough. In this video, Jeff details what nutritional advice you can give to personal training clients while maintaining laws and ethical values.
Each state has their own laws and regulations regarding nutrition. You can find your states laws here:

I've bee a PT myself for 9 months now,.taken a hige step.of.leaving a commercial.gym.to go out on my own. And the advice.you give on your channel is spot on it really helps me. You.should have way more subcribers
Happy to help! Glad that you’ll be working on your own business!
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation cheers man
When did you feel you were ready to go off on your own? How’s everything going for yourself right now?
Hey man.. You're a great help to us PTs
Thanks! Happy to help!
Thank you so much for this! Super helpful
Kristen of course! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video!! That was the best explanation of what it means to call oneself a nutritionist. Very helpful!!
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Another great video. thank you.
Thank you!
I always tell my clients just to stay in a caloric deficit. Especially because I don't want to get out of my scope of practice mainly because I'm not a nutritionist. I refer them to one though. It takes 3500 calories to burn 1 pound so I say cut back on 500 calories a day and that will be 3500 calories for the whole week, 1 lb lost as well. I am thinking about getting my nutrition license too
That’s a good way to do it! We do it in a very similar way!
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation that's great! Just downloaded all the forms! Thanks so much
@@PAPERCHASERCH47 no problem! I’m glad you’re finding the content helpful!
Great video!
Thanks! Glad that you found it useful!
Hey there! Glad you cleared up what a nutritionist is for most! There is another form too. I am technically a nutritionist but I have a 4 year B.S. from Michigan State University (and soon rd2be yay!!) Just wanted to let you know that Michigan is in the process of passing a bill for licensure to practice MNT! and I think (not 100%) New Jersey just passed the bill! A little more is that starting in 2024 will have to have a master's degree!
Thanks for letting me know! I’m definitely going to be keeping my eye on that!
Very informative i live in a green state so thats great until i get my nutrition cert. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video Jeff! I definitely would love to see the detailed video of how you help a client achieve their nutrition goals 😊
Question: do you set the caloric intake and macro breakdown for them or does the app do that?
Noha Masoud thank you! I will definitely do that one at some point soon!
MyFitnessPal does set the caloric intake and macro breakdown but sometimes I will modify the numbers that it gives
From Utah here! So after watching the video I’m assuming it’s ok as a personal trainer to give somebody a calorie and protein goal for fat loss or muscle building and recommend certain foods? I just can’t give them a meal plan to follow, correct?
In Utah, yes. We always phrase foods as suggested items/things we like for certain goals vs recommending they eat something specific.
The problem I have and why I don't decide to "sell myself" is that I don't know how to make a diet and therefore I feel I'm not good enough.
Because there are many trainers who do diet + training.
I know they have to be in caloric deficit to lose weight but it's also easier to tell them what to eat.
It might not be legal to tell them what to eat depending on where you live. If you feel like you need more knowledge on nutrition though, there are a lot of good sources. ACE, and NASM are good. We like precision nutrition the most though.
So if I get a client that is a type 2 diabetic (I am a Type 2 diabetic) I cannot tell them what or how to eat? Can I at least tell them to minimize carbs unless they come from vegetables?
In you’re in the United States and not a registered dietitian then it is illegal to give dietary advice to a type 2 diabetic. The odds of you getting caught are low if you did. That being said it’s still illegal.
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation what can happen of people get caught, do that is ilegall in all yhe countries or just in USA? nutrionts can not give advice of what to eat and what supplements can take for their dieseases?
Why does ct in one video have a different color than his other video???
Things don’t necessarily stay the same over time. The map in this video is the most up to date th-cam.com/video/QxR9kL4MYU0/w-d-xo.html
That’s why I don’t understand how personal trainers give out meal plans etc… Especially if you’re not certified… I’ll never do that and I’m certified trainer not nutritionist or dietician
Sounds like you're on the right track! You can do some nutrition work with your clients but you have to stay in your scope of practice.
Hi there Jeff/Geoff, our Clinical Research Director is interested in interviewing you for our TH-cam Channel. If you're open to scheduling, please reach him either by phone at 877-698-3648 x 7018 or reply here and let us know how we can reach out to you for scheduling. Thanks.
Sure I’d love to do that. I’m on vacation for the next few days but I’ll give you guys a call as soon as I get back!
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation We're looking forward to hearing from you.
None! Lol jk
Haha luckily this isn’t true
So nutritionts just focus on losing weight?
No nutritionists can focus on any health or fitness related goal. Weight loss is the most common one.
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation but not chronic diseases if we can give a meal to a customer?
@@mejhon6592 it’s true that you have to be more careful when working with diseased populations. Doing that is illegal in some place like the US. It all depends on where you’re located though.
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation how can I find out which cases is ilegal?
@@mejhon6592 unfortunately that can be pretty hard! I would google nutrition laws in your country and then start doing research from there. I wish I could give you more helpful advice but that’s really all you can do.
