Nutritional consultation & body composition assessment in Bristol
See what your weight is really made of, and get a clear nutrition plan to match your goal.
What you get
A body composition and nutritional analysis session measures your body fat versus lean mass and your somatotype, so you understand your individual body type. Body measurements are taken with precise Harpenden skinfold calipers, following ISAK anthropometric standardisation, which gives far more reliable body composition results than cheap impedance devices. You then complete a 5–7 day food diary, and I use it to prepare a detailed analysis and nutrition report highlighting key areas needing improvement for weight loss, muscle gain or better health.
I use these measurements to optimise your progress, so we don’t waste time guessing. You can’t change what you don’t measure.
Why body composition matters
Body weight alone doesn’t tell you how much is fat and how much is lean tissue. Two people of the same height and weight can have very different body fat levels and health profiles, so standard height-and-weight charts can mislead.
Where fat is stored matters too. Excess fat around the abdomen is linked with higher risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and type 2 diabetes, so tracking changes over time is more useful than watching the scales.
Lean tissue helps you burn calories and keeps you strong as you age. Your basal metabolic rate – the energy your body uses at complete rest – can be estimated more accurately when lean mass is known, which makes your nutrition targets more precise.

Frequently asked questions
What is body composition?
Body composition is how much of your weight is fat and how much is lean tissue such as muscle, bone and water, usually shown as percentages. Scales alone can’t show this.
Why not just use BMI or the scales?
Two people with the same height and weight can have very different amounts of body fat. A body composition assessment shows what the weight is made of, so you can track real change.
What happens in the session?
I measure your body fat percentage and lean mass and identify your somatotype (body type). You also provide a 5–7 day food diary, and I use it to prepare a written nutrition analysis and report.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
A 30-minute body composition assessment is £30. A one-hour nutritional consultation with body composition assessment is £60.
Do I need to be training with you?
No. Many people book an assessment on its own for clarity and a plan, then follow it independently or add personal training.
