First: How much does only nutrition counseling cost?
The prices of nutritionists vary depending on where you live, and there can be significant differences. For an initial consultation, you can expect to pay at least $100, with additional sessions costing around $70 each. If you opt for three extra sessions, the total cost would be $310.
If you're lucky, this might include workout plans for the gym. However, these advisors won't teach you how to sleep better or manage your time effectively.
They often offer pre-made meal plans with dishes you may not like, leaving you unsure of how to create a personalized meal plan that suits your needs.
You may also lack knowledge about the proper macronutrient distribution, requiring expensive consultations in the future. When we started our fitness journey, we had a training plan and a nutrition plan (including foods we don `t like e.g. avocado) created for us, which cost us $140. However, this was several years ago, and I suspect it would now cost around $200.
