Track Tests and Goals

Track your clients weight, body fat percentage, BMI, lean body mass, waist to hip ratio, girth measurements, and cholesterol. Additionally you can track a variety of other tests and surveys related to nutritional goals such as reducing snacks, lowering sodium consumption, increasing calcium intake and more. 

Nutrition Maker has a complete set of nutritional goals to help you and your client to achieve the results they want. The software will track goal achievement and recommend tests based on the selected goals. We make is simple to save you time and effort.

Diet Analysis

Even the most adept nutrition professional can have difficulty knowing if the client is getting the right nutrients and vitamins. It’s impossible to look at a person and know they aren’t getting enough vitamin A or E, or if they are low on potassium. Ever wonder how to know that for sure?

We can help. Simply instruct your clients to keep a food diary for 3-5 days. They (or you) enter that information in the diet analysis section and the resulting report provides Carb/Fat/Protein percentages and a list of any nutrient deficiencies. Diet analysis can provide an additional source of revenue or be included in your basic services.

It doesn’t stop there; the system will even give you a list of foods that contain the nutrients your client needs, and will provide a report that shows excesses (fat, sodium and cholesterol are the usual culprits).

Reports and Questionnaires

Questionnaires include health risk assessments, diet preferences, lifestyle surveys and more. Also included are informational handouts such as nutrition guidelines, fiber sources, stress management etc.

Providing informational resources is a great way to keep clients involved in their healthcare as well as educating them properly. You have the ability to print the reports or have the client access them on their health portal.

Nutrition Maker also has the ability to create a variety of printed reports for your clients, including test summaries, health risk reviews and more.

Clients Access Meal Plans on Mobile Portal

If your clients don’t want to use the free phone app, they have access to a client web portal, branded with your company logo and information. Here they can:

  • View test results and goal achievement.
  • Retrieve meal plans, use their shopping list, and see recipes.
  • Enter diet history.
  • Receive information documents or fill out forms.
  • Receive or send messages.

Only Pay For What You Need

We make it easy for you to keep a good return on investment. You pay only for the number of clients you are treating. Just starting out? Not a problem. Start with our Starter Package of only 5 clients. As your business grows you can easily move up to the next tier and add more client slots. If a client no longer uses your services, you can use that client slot for a new client.

With prices as low or lower than $3 per client/month, you can see how simple it is to pay off your investment (as long as you charge more than $3 per month for your services). For more information on ROI see How It Works.

We also offer annual plans which can save from 15-30%.

Versatile

Versatility is key. Not every health professional is the same. Not every client needs the same things. We don’t think a nutrition software should lock  or push anyone into any specific method.

That is why we let you provide your care with printed test reports, meal plans, forms, handouts, diet analysis or let your client access the information on their portal.

We are here to make your job easier and your business more profitable, not to tell you how to run the details of your business or your nutrition duties.
