Designing the Nutritional Programme

A person’s health and wellness is largely affected by what he eats
and drinks. The role of good nutrition for optimal health cannot be
underestimated. As a personal trainer, you are one of those your client is
likely to seek nutritional advice from. Thus, you are also the most likely
person who can teach and impart sound nutritional knowledge, thereby
influencing your client to make wise and good decisions for life-long
healthy eating.

Understand and apply sound knowledge of nutrition.

Provide appropriate nutritional advice to clients.

Recommend healthy eating strategies and modify recipes and
diets for different needs.

principles.
