The Five-Step Consultation Process
Dietary History & Baseline Documentation
The opening session is a structured 60-minute intake interview. Food preferences, cooking routines, meal timing, weekly physical activity schedule, and any relevant dietary constraints are each recorded systematically and filed as the baseline document for the programme.
A 7-day food log — either pre-submitted or reconstructed during the session — forms the primary data source for the initial macronutrient analysis. The log is retained in the client archive with an intake date stamp and a session reference code.
Distribution Analysis & Target Setting
Based on the intake record, a macronutrient distribution map is produced. Protein, carbohydrate, and fat allocations are calculated relative to the client's energy expenditure, activity load, and stated weight balance objectives.
Micronutrient coverage is assessed across the recorded food groups — vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein sources are each evaluated against published nutritional composition data. Gaps in coverage are flagged and addressed in the written plan.
Food Group Allocation by Season
The written dietary plan is structured around the current seasonal produce calendar for Romania. Each quarter, the plan is updated to reflect seasonal availability of local vegetables and fruits — reducing reliance on out-of-season imports and aligning the food plan with regional growing cycles.
The plan specifies daily food group targets, preferred preparation methods, suggested meal timing, and a reference list of in-season produce. Each version carries a revision code and a seasonal identifier (e.g., Q2-Spring-Rev.01).
Nutritional Alignment with Sport & Movement
For clients with regular physical activity, the dietary plan is adapted to reflect varying energy requirements across training days and rest days. Weekly sport schedules are recorded alongside the food plan, and macronutrient targets are periodised accordingly.
Energy distribution guidance is documented separately for activity days versus low-activity days. Carbohydrate and protein allocations are calibrated against reported exercise type, frequency, and intensity band — ensuring food choices support both weight balance objectives and everyday physical performance.
Structured Review Cycle & Longitudinal Record
A formal review session is scheduled at week four of every programme. The review compares current food habits against the plan, assesses progress toward stated weight balance objectives, and produces a dated revision entry in the client archive.
The accumulated archive — intake record, macronutrient maps, seasonal plans, activity module, and all revision entries — forms a longitudinal reference document. This record grows with each season and each programme renewal, providing a traceable basis for every future consultation.
