Benefits of working with a sports nutritionist vs. going it alone
It’s easy to find meal plans and programs that promise to help you manage your weight and live a healthier lifestyle. But many of these plans aren’t backed by scientific research or reliable data.

About San Francisco Registered Dietitians:
While California doesn’t require dietitians to obtain a license to practice in the state, there are other requirements that registered dietitians must fulfill.
Education and Experience
Candidates must complete an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics, such as a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics. They must also complete 1,200 hours of supervised practice through an accredited Dietetic Internship program.
Registration
California requires candidates to pass the Registration Examination for Dietitians. They must register with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) and renew their registration every five years after completing 75 continuing professional education hours.
Get Over the San Francisco Hurdles and Get Back to Health
It’s not always easy to maintain a healthy and nutritious diet in San Francisco. Long working hours combined with easy access to restaurants and food delivery services can make it difficult for residents to follow a healthy eating plan.
Low motivation to cook
San Francisco is known for its culinary scene, and the city is home to numerous excellent restaurants. Easy access to delicious food from every type of cuisine often removes the motivation to cook balanced, healthy meals at home.
Takeout and food delivery apps make ordering large portions of tasty yet unhealthy dishes even easier. For individuals trying to maximize their fitness, this can be detrimental to adhering to a balanced and nutritious dietary plan.
Busy schedules and time constraints
The challenge that many San Franciscans face is simply a lack of time. Many people have stressful, high-paced jobs that leave very few hours in the day to shop for healthy ingredients, research recipes, and cook nutritious meals. The demands of caring for young children or elderly relatives can put even more constraints on your time. Trying to fit in workouts alongside work and family commitments leaves precious little time to figure out how to fuel your body.

Full Transparency Pros and Cons
If you want to improve your health and develop better eating habits, there are several different support methods to choose from. Each option has unique benefits and challenges.
Online Nutrition
Pros
- Some online nutrition programs have matching systems to help you find a suitable professional for your needs.
- By using an online service, you aren’t limited to nutritionists who live and work in the San Francisco area.
Cons
- Many online nutrition services are likely to offer communication tools such as email, messaging, and phone calls rather than live video appointments.
- Online nutrition services are frequently comparable in price to traditional one-on-one nutrition counseling, which is more expensive than options such as diet programs.
- You usually have to provide your contact information to get started with an online service (or research your options), often leading to unwanted marketing emails.
Diet Companies
Pros
- If your goal is weight loss, most diet companies promise short-term success if you follow their rules precisely.
- With a premade diet plan, you don’t have to invest much mental or emotional energy towards improving your nutrition – simply follow the rules and eat what the program tells you to eat.
Cons
- Most diet companies focus entirely on weight loss, which requires caloric deficit and is not necessarily the right choice for athletes or people working through body-image issues.
- Restrictive diets aren’t sustainable in the long run, and most people who initially find success with a low-calorie diet end up reverting to their original eating habits.
Online Meal Plans
Pros
- There are many different meal plan options available, so you may be able to find one in your budget that aligns with your wellness goals.
- Some online meal plans allow you to choose between several recipes and prepare meals in batches, saving time.
Cons
- These plans can be hard to modify for specific food preferences and dietary restrictions, which can be especially difficult if you are a vegetarian, have a gluten-free diet, or are cooking for numerous family members.
- Like diet companies, most meal plans focus on weight management rather than strength and performance, so it can be hard to find a meal plan optimized for athletes.
