Sample 24hr recall

Below you’ll see the level of detail our nutritionist will take from you during your consultation.

The more detail you can provide, the more accurate your analysis will be. It can be difficult but we would encourage you to be as honest as you can – again, this will help the nutritionist to give you relevant advice and to really identify any issues you might have with your diet. Remember, your consultation is completely confidential.
