What type of nutrition information can a personal trainer give with a basic personal training certification?

Hi Lana,

The trainer is pretty much correct. Personally I can talk about nutrition with my clients in a general and some educational level but I never give out plans or even write anything down on paper. Plus many of the clients today they can get a lot of information online and they also have apps/programs that keep track of their calories. For more specific nutritional information and meal planning I refer them to dietitians. I hope this helps.
