When a client asks you for nutrition advice, this can be an awkward situation to be in as a Personal Trainer. You probably know more than your average Joe but equally, you know you should not really be prescribing meal plans unless you are a qualified dietitian.

As we know, diet plays a massive role in how you feel and how you perform in the gym so it is not something you can ignore in the modern day world.
