The primary purpose of the first nutrition appointment is to discover what your expectations are as a client and how the Registered Dietitian can help you meet those needs. The Registered Dietitian will assess your individual nutrition status and lifestyle habits. Before you meet with the Registered Dietitian, you will be provided with several forms to complete. These forms will help the Registered Dietitian better understand your nutrition, exercise, and diet habits.
The Registered Dietitian will review your past medical history, current medications and supplements, weight history, exercise habits, food dislikes and likes, possible food allergies/sensitivities, meal and snacking patterns and what you wish to accomplish by working together. Your daily food records and food frequency list will be reviewed to estimate your caloric intake and assess the macro and micro nutrient balance of your diet.
