Calgary Dietitian Nutritionists & Certified Personal Trainers
Lifelong nutrition, built on your body’s data.
Lose fat, build muscle, maintain momentum in the right direction. Evidence-based nutrition and metabolic testing tailored to your body composition and physiology.
Do you feel like you're putting in the work, but the results don't match your efforts?
The advice you've been following probably wasn't built for your body. Most nutrition approaches rely on generalized estimates, not measured data, overlooking the variables that drive your results: your resting metabolic rate, body composition, and VO2 Max.
At Eatuitive Nutrition, our registered dietitians quantify all of these using indirect calorimetry and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (InBody 570), capturing resting metabolic rate, VO2 Max, body composition including visceral fat, muscle mass and fluid distribution. Combined with a comprehensive diet analysis, we interpret that data into a nutrition plan tailored to your physiology.
Metabolism & Body Composition Testing
Two tests, two data points that most nutrition plans don’t account for. Your resting metabolic rate and body composition, measured using indirect calorimetry and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis,
You'll leave with your measured resting energy expenditure and a full body composition breakdown, segmental muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and fluid distribution, interpreted by your registered dietitian into clear, personalized calorie & protein targets.
Ideal for: Anyone who wants a measured baseline, and a reference point to track progress. Commonly used at the start of a program and every few months as your body composition shifts.
How it works
Metabolism & Body Composition Assessment
($250 | Includes RMR and InBody 570 Testing)
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): A 10-minute breath test using indirect calorimetry—the gold standard for metabolic measurement—to determine your resting energy expenditure directly from oxygen consumption. Rather than relying on population-based equations, this directly measures how your specific metabolism functions.
InBody 570 Body Composition: Utilizing multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis to quantify segmental muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and fluid distribution in under a minute. This technology is medical-grade and validated against DEXA with a correlation of 0.99.
Why it matters
Most nutrition targets are based on population-based equations. These tests replace that estimate with measured data, giving your registered dietitian a clinically accurate baseline to work from.
VO₂ Max & Submax Test with CardioCoach® Pro
VO2 Max Testing — Coming Soon ($200)
The definitive data point for aerobic efficiency.
VO2 Max or submaximal exercise metabolic assessment measured using indirect calorimetry is the gold standard for cardiovascular measurement.
You’ll leave with your precise VO2 Max score, target heart rate training zones, and a metabolic crossover analysis identifying exactly where your body shifts from burning fat to carbohydrates for fuel. This data is interpreted by your clinical team to provide clear, physiological baselines for your conditioning and recovery.
Ideal for: Endurance athletes, high-performers, or anyone looking to move beyond generalized heart rate formulas and train with precision zones tailored to their personal physiological data.
How it works
Performance Upgrade: VO2 Max Testing
($200 | Optional Add-on — Coming Soon)
Exercise Metabolic Assessment: A maximal or submaximal exercise breath test using indirect calorimetry to pinpoint your target heart rate training zones. This provides the physiological data needed to move beyond generalized heart rate formulas and identify exactly where your body burns fat versus carbohydrates for fuel.
VO₂ Max testing using a mixing chamber technology is considered the Gold Standard of your aerobic fitness and respiratory health, which is highly correlated to quality of life and longevity. VO₂ Max testing provides a big picture view of your current fitness and potential, including personalized heart rate zones, fitness level, and recovery data, fitness level, and recovery data.
Why it matters
Most cardiovascular training zones are based on generalized, age-based formulas. This assessment replaces those estimates with measured physiological data, giving your clinical team a precise roadmap to optimize your conditioning and metabolic fuel utilization.
Nutrition Assessment & Diet Analysis
This is where your metabolic data, body composition results, and diet analysis come together into a plan built around your physiology and your life.
Your registered dietitian reviews your test results alongside your food journal to assess calorie intake, macronutrient distribution, fiber, micronutrients, and eating patterns. The session covers individual calorie and protein targets, meal timing, and practical habit-based recommendations based on your life and how you eat day to day.
But it goes beyond the numbers. We address health conditions, eating behaviours, hunger and fullness patterns, and lifestyle factors that influence how your body responds. If relevant, your dietitian can also review blood work and wearable data to add clinical context.
Ideal for: Anyone who understands the value of eating well and exercising but isn't seeing the results they expect, or wants their test results translated into a concrete plan.
Why it matters
Data alone doesn't tell you what to do with it. Your registered dietitian connects your metabolic test results, body composition, diet patterns, and health history to give you the context behind the numbers, and a plan that accounts for your real life, along with your macros.
Fitness Assessment & Exercise Programming
Our registered dietitians hold personal training certifications, so your exercise assessment and programming is developed with both your metabolic physiology and training load in mind. Movement quality, exercise selection, recovery, and progression are evaluated in context of your nutrition strategy, not in isolation.
This session makes sense if you want your training and nutrition working from the same data set, or if you want an exercise program developed by someone who understands how fueling affects performance and body composition.
Ideal for: Motivated beginners /intermediate exercisers looking for to assess form and exercise plan for optimal results to your goals.
Why it matters
Nutrition and training influence each other directly. Exercise programming that accounts for your resting metabolic rate, body composition, and dietary intake gives your registered dietitian the full picture needed to make recommendations that are grounded in your physiology.
Step 1: Measure what you burn to optimize what you eat.
Baseline Metabolism & Body Composition Testing (1 hour, $250)
Your first session establishes a physiological baseline from two clinical measurements: how much energy your body burns at rest, and what your body is composed of, through indirect caloritry and multi-frequency BIA analysis.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): A 10-minute breath test using indirect calorimetry, the gold standard for metabolic measurement. Rather than relying on population-based equations, this test directly measures your oxygen consumption to determine your true resting energy expenditure.
Body Composition Analysis: Using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, the InBody 570 goes beyond standard body fat percentage to quantify segmental lean muscle mass, visceral fat level, and fluid distribution across compartments, in under a minute.
VO2 Max Testing — Coming Soon ($200): A maximal or submaximal exercise metabolic assessment using indirect calorimetry, the gold standard for aerobic measurement. Rather than estimating fitness, this test directly measures oxygen consumption to pinpoint your target heart rate training zones and identify exactly where your body burns fat versus carbohydrates for fuel.
From these results, your registered dietitian interprets your personal calorie and protein targets based on your measured data. You leave with clinical results presented in plain language and expert interpretation you can apply straight away.
Step 2: Create a nutrition strategy that fits your lifestyle.
Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment (1 hour, $250)
Your second session is where your dietitian ties in the data with your real life together. Review your food logs, est results, and health history to build a nutrition plan based on your typical intake patterns.
Before your session: Before your session: You'll complete intake forms and log your meals using our nutrition app. Photo-based or detailed tracking both work, your dietitian will assess calories, macros, micronutrients, and eating patterns from information you provide.
During your session: We connect your diet analysis, metabolic data, and goals into a concrete plan with individualized calorie targets, protein targets, meal timing, and energy strategies. If relevant, we can also review blood work, health conditions, and wearable data to add context.
The goal is a plan that meets you where you are. You'll understand the reasoning behind every recommendation, because a plan you understand is one you can sustain and adjust as things change.
Step 3: Monitor to bridge the gap between effort and results.
Follow-Up Sessions, Re-Tests & Exercise Assessments (10-60 min, $110-220)
Your follow-up sessions are where theory meets real life, see what’s working, what the numbers are telling us, and adjust accordingly. The initial plan is only a starting point – as your body composition shifts, your targets shift too.
Quick Re-Tests (10 min): A quick body composition check-in to monitor muscle, fat, and fluid changes over time.
Full Follow-Ups (30–45 min): In-depth counselling to review progress and keep your plan aligned as your life and results evolve.
Exercise Assessments (60 min): An integrated evaluation of movement, recovery, and training load to ensure your exercise and nutrition strategies are working in alignment with your goals.
Progress isn't linear, and your plan evolves with it. Each session keeps your approach grounded in measured data, adaptable, and sustainable for lasting results.

Use your insurance benefits
Many extended health plans cover Registered Dietitian services. All sessions are provided by Registered Dietitians and are eligible for reimbursement. Check with your plan to confirm coverage.
Do you direct bill?
We direct bill Sun Life, Blue Cross, Canada Life, Desjardins, and Equitable Life for individual sessions. For all other insurers, receipts are provided upon request for self-submission.
Packages are paid upfront in full. The first session in a package can be direct billed where applicable, with individual receipts issued per session for the remainder. Package pricing, expiry dates, and terms apply regardless of insurance coverage or reimbursement timelines. Read our Booking Policy for full details.
Do you provide insurance receipts?
Yes. Receipts are available upon request, issued based on the session information you provide to be submitted to your insurer for reimbursement.
We recommend submitting your first session receipt before splitting the remainder, as coverage confirmed online or by phone doesn't always match final approval. Once you share confirmation of that first claim, we can issue split receipts upon request.
Pro Tip:
Look up Registered Dietitian coverage under paramedical services in your insurance portal. Check your plan's Reasonable and Customary Fee (RCF), as this determines the maximum reimbursed per session and affects how we split package receipts. If your benefits reset soon, it may be worth booking before renewal to maximize coverage. Dietitian services also qualify as a tax-deductible medical expense.
