FAQs

How much do people charge for nutrition coaching? ›

The more confidence you have, the more you can charge—and feel good about it. Coaches who feel “completely confident” in their coaching skills say they charge $75 per hour, while coaches who are only “somewhat confident,” or “a little confident or less” charge just $60 per hour.

Most state regulations make it illegal for anyone other than RDs/RDNs to provide medical nutrition therapy for health conditions. But, many states allow nutritionists to perform one-on-one nutrition counseling with clients, even if there are some restrictions on their services.

Overview of the Roles

The title of “nu*tritionist” can technically be held by any individual — there is really no law that prohibits someone from claiming themselves as a Nutritionist. Due to this, it's important to ask for, or get specific certifications to have credibility.

Benefits include coverage for doctor visits, specialty care, hospital stays, urgent and emergency care, preventive health care services, and prescriptions.

$2300-$6000+ per month

In fact, for very successful Precision Nutrition coaches, $100 to $200 per monthly client seems to be a typical range. And some of these coaches work with as many as 50 to 100 monthly clients or more at any one time. (We'll let you do the math.)

The disadvantage of in-person coaching is that the method requires more logical planning. So that both the client and coach can meet at agreed times and places. Solo sessions with clients allow for a good foundation, but groups and community services for nutrition also have a place in the coaching business.

Your role is to provide guidance, advice, and support to your clients; it is not to prescribe meal plans, supplements, or to treat disease.

Nutrition Coach Education and Training

But there is generally no educational requirement to provide basic nutrition coaching services. This doesn't mean that you should provide nutrition coaching services without seeking education or training in this field. It only means that it is not mandated.

4. Start your own coaching business. As mentioned, nutrition coaching has proved to be in high demand, especially with the present generation. Not only because of the rampant cases of metabolic disorders and other related diseases but because a lot of people nowadays are conscious of their fitness and body image.

Health coaches should avoid personalized meal plans for their clients and instead focus on organizing recipes and shopping tips as a resource. Depending on where they are practicing as a health coach, some health coaches can use recipe books, sample meal plans, and meal planning guides to help their clients.

Is a nutrition coach certification worth it? ›

Based on our survey of 1000 nutrition coaches and additional independent research, coaches with a nutrition certification earn slightly more per hour than coaches without one. If you have two to three certifications, you'll earn an average $12 more per hour than coaches with just one.

While there is a good bit of overlap between the two professions, a certified nutrition coach is typically more focused on the coaching aspects and helping clients make sustainable lifestyle changes, while a nutritionist may have more knowledge when it comes to medical issues and specific dietary needs.

In general, a one-time consultation with a nutritionist to create a personalized meal plan can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 or more. Some nutritionists may also offer ongoing support and check-ins, which can increase the overall cost.
