Meal Planning Certificate

Meal Planning Course

This course takes you through the broad aspects of meal planning. To successfully support clients’ goals, a holistic view of nutrition is needed. The first two modules give you an overview of the dietary components that make up healthy eating patterns. With knowledge of what the body needs to function optimally, the course goes on to tackle the main nutritional assessment tools that you can use in your diagnosis of areas of dietary improvement. These nutritional assessment tools go hand-in-hand with nutritional strategies that encourage a change in eating behaviours and food choices.

The nutritional strategies covered vary in their suitability for clients of different profiles, so they can be used depending on the level of client readiness and their commitment to change. Finally, the course explores how to determine the credibility of a source. This gives you the confidence to advise clients appropriately and provide sound nutritional advice.

What You Will Learn:

  • Dietary principles and the components of a healthy eating pattern
  • What role macronutrients play and their main types, including specific foods and their main macronutrient components
  • How to incorporate the use of nutritional assessment tools, to identify areas of improvement within a client’s diet
  • The main nutritional strategies, and how to apply your knowledge of dietary principles
  • How to evaluate sources of nutritional information

The Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • You will learn basic nutritional facts
  • You can accurately suggest nutritional areas of improvement
  • You can apply nutritional knowledge, to support clients’ nutritional goals
  • You can provide clients with sound nutritional advice

It was great, lots of knowledge and able to learn at my own pace was fantastic, and that I have access to it after completing exam is great too!

I am excited to start further learning and will likely try another course provided from this website! Exam was easy and straight forward, and provided you with the questions you did not get correct so that you are able to further study.

I have recommended this site to friends and family, and will continue learning! Thank you so much New Skills Academy! You are an amazing site and I am grateful!

I’ve been searching for courses based around animals for a long time. Finally found a provider that has a lot of courses in this area. I’m really enjoying this course so far, and can’t wait to do the next one.

The course is very easy to follow, with highlighted text so that you can remember the important parts of each module and the fact you can learn at your own speed and access the course for life is great. I am a very busy working mum, and I can now fit my learning around my other commitments in my life.

Bring on future learning!

I was extremely worried at first that it wouldn’t be what I want in a course but the course is honestly absolutely amazing! It’s made to be really enjoyable, fun and easy to complete and best of all in your own time.

I could not recommend New Skills Academy any more! It’s now gave me something more to put on to my CV and get my career started in the area I’d love to be in for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for helping me reach my goals and achieve my dreams!

I’ve recommended to all of my friends and would also recommend to anyone looking into doing a course. Go for it you won’t regret it!

Helen Buckwell

A super user-friendly website, with very pertinent course content. Truly enjoyed the study material and the pace at which I could study was really great. I was delighted to receive my Diploma.

I had some technical problems along the way and contacted your student support team a couple of times and found them to be most helpful and the response time/turnaround was so quick.

I have also signed up to do the Events Planning Diploma and will definitely be studying further through your Academy. Once again a huge thank you – your support team are really helpful, friendly and efficient!!

This course was a good introduction to payroll and the content was easy to read and well set out. I would recommend this course to anyone that would like to start out in payroll.

Mark McAuliffe

This course is easy to read, it’s given me a new avenue to go down and very happy with all the advice I have been given.
The modules give you the basics and knowledge required to start up on your own if you have the back bone to go and use it!
The staff are as helpful as could possibly be.
Thank you for this opportunity, I am very grateful and will be carrying on to the next qualification as soon as I can.
Please note this is a real service and I really can’t believe it’s genuinely. Real big kiss to everyone who has helped me with this.
