Will you change the calorie limits anytime soon? Currently the minimum calories are set to 1400.
A: With low/ultra-low caloric plans, there is a greater risk of adverse health effects. Since we operate in so many countries, we need to consider the global legal landscape regarding this. If you’d like to see the minimum calories set below 1400, please Vote here.
Why don't my clients Smart Meal Plan macros match exactly to their nutrition goal?
When using the Smart Meal Planner, plans with more than 3-4 meals per day and/or additional dietary preferences turned on, may result in greater macro variance from the Nutrition Goal. For more accurate values, consider reducing the number of meals and/or dietary preferences.
Do you plan on allowing for custom macro splits in the Smart Meal Planner?
We have released the Flexible Meal Planner as part of our Advanced Nutrition Coaching add-on, which unlocks:
- Meal plans with fully custom calories & macros (no more min/max constraints)
- Ability to create plans using client recipes or coach-created recipes
- Ability to save meal plans as drafts before assigning to clients

What do the 'high fiber' and 'simple meals' filter tags mean?

What nutrition services can I legally provide to my clients as a personal trainer/coach?
Check your local laws and legislations from the local regulating body in your state, province, city, or country to get clarity on whether or not nutrition advice/services are a regulated practice. That way, you can make an informed decision on what nutrition services you’re able to deliver.
Pursue a nutrition certification from an accredited body like Precision Nutrition ACE, or NASM to level-up your skills and knowledge around nutrition coaching.
Consider partnering with a qualified professional according to your local laws and legislations such as a local Dietician or Registered Nutritionist to deliver nutrition services that are beyond your scope.
If you are not certified, offer nutrition guidance instead. Here are some ideas on ways you can inspire your clients to start thinking about their nutrition habits and how you can help them with some guidance.
