When to see a nutritionist

...Some nutritionists ask clients to keep a food diary for a few days, noting everything they eat and drink, when they eat, and how full they feel.

David Grotto, an R.D.

and ADA spokesman in Chicago, says he prefers to see for himself how his clients eat.

“I go through their kitchen cabinets and refrigerators,” he says.Nutritionists fold that information in with your medical history, height, weight, age, activity level, and body-fat percentage.

The R.D.s we consulted said they then design a detailed diet plan based on your nutrition needs, goals, and preferences.

Expect follow-up visits to check on your progress or to modify the diet plan.
