Eat better, not less...
We believe food is one of the greatest enjoyments in life and aim to blend that enjoyment with the requirements of your goals. Appropriate nutrition intake is one of our pillars of success and nutrition coaching with HFP is highly personalised to you.
It can be a basic approach to begin with or it can be highly detailed if you are willing.
Whatever you are ready for, if you absorb information like an encyclopaedia, we are your experts. If you just want boxes to tick, we have that formula too.
Why do Health and Fitness Progressions include nutrition planning?
When it comes to health and fitness, HFP are passionate about looking at the holistic solution. Nutrition is a significant contributor to health performance development and improvement. It’s not just aiming for low fat or the latest keto diet technique, it is about optimising your body to compliment your training and that can vary greatly depending on your current body composition and your goal.
From weight loss to building muscle mass, your individualised nutrition planning can be vastly different from one person to the next.
EAT BETTER, NOT LESS. FIND OUT HOW:
What does a nutrition consult and analysis involve?
For beginner to immediate clients, we ascertain and coach towards a healthy frequency and volume of meals. We look at the type of meal content and ensure that you are ticking the boxes you need to tick.
We help you prepare your plate and coach you in how to form your meals. We will show you how two, three or four meals a day will contribute to your training goal and compliment your lifestyle in a sustainable and goal oriented way.
HFP understand it might be too much all at once and if your lifestyle requires a more lenient approach, we make small changes systematically and adjust the nutrition planning, keeping a healthy balance for you.
For the advanced client, we scale it up. We begin to look at the daily calorie intake, macronutrient volumes and timings required to meet your goal.
When someone’s goals demand a rigorous approach, we advocate calorie counting because what can be measured can be managed. To the surprise of many, we are often suggesting a higher nutrition intake before entering calorie deficits. Advanced meal coaching strategies can occur daily or even twice a day.
LET’S START MAKING REAL CHANGE.

Nutrition Coaching FAQ's
Nutrition advice can be as basic or as detailed as you are willing to undertake. You may be a beginner and need to learn terms like macronutrients. Or perhaps you are looking to activate nutrition to perform at optimum levels. Either way, our coaches are experienced and well equipped to take at journey with you.
We begin the process by learning about your history with nutrition, successes and failures, food you like and dislike and much more.
From here we will want to understand how you currently eat and then coach you on how to modify your eating habits to help you achieve your body composition goal. This information can range from basic coaching on how to form a healthy meal and nutrition planning to achieve your goal to a more detailed calorie and macronutrient requirement approach.
We will then want to ensure that things are heading in the right direction and will regularly review and assess your progress in as much detail as you like.
We live in an information rich society where information on any nutrition topic is only a key stroke away, however this information often provides little to no context and adaptability for you and your goals.
Many people consequently experience confusion, anxiety and insecurity around what they eat, in fear that they might become unhealthy or put on too much weight.
Having a nutrition coach can cut through this confusion and guide you on the right path with information specific to your baseline and to your goals.
