Nutrition

Want to shed a few pounds? Improve your sports performance? Maximize muscle gain? Nutrition can be half the battle, which is why PAC has a registered dietitian who can guide you every step of the way. Take advantage of private consultations, meal planning, supermarket tours and more. We’ll show you how good nutrition can be both manageable and tasty.

To learn more about PAC’s nutrition services, or to make an appointment for any of the services listed below, call our registered dietitian, Toni Bloom, at 650.593.4900, ext. 311. Or send an e-mail to nutrition@pacclub.com.

Private Consultations

One-on-one consultations can assist you with a variety of needs, such as weight management, sports nutrition, pre- and postnatal nutrition, disease prevention and disordered eating. In a 1-hour consult, our nutritionist will review your typical eating habits, provide tips for improving your diet, calculate your calorie needs and create a list of “tweaks” for you to accomplish your goals. Cost: $100 per hour (initial session), $50 per half-hour follow-up.

Nutrition “Coaching”

Similar to meeting with a personal trainer on a weekly basis, our nutritionist is available to coach you on your day-to-day food choices and portion sizes. You’re responsible for keeping track of what you eat (she has a spreadsheet that makes this task quick and simple), and she'll review it. Her feedback includes suggestions for changes in food choices or portions, calorie estimates and weekly averages, plus nutrition goals for the week ahead. Cost: $40 per week.

L.E.A.N. Program

If you want to lose weight and you know you need more than just one visit with the nutritionist to stay on track, this program is for you. The Lifestyle, Exercise And Nutrition (L.E.A.N.) program addresses all aspects of healthy weight loss. You’ll receive two 1-hour visits with our nutritionist, two 1-hour appointments with a personal fitness trainer, and four weeks of e-mail nutrition coaching. Cost: $415.

Supermarket Tour

On your private supermarket tour, our nutritionist will teach you how to really read the nutrition labels and walk aisle by aisle to point out the best (and worst!) food choices. What better nutrition classroom is there than a grocery store? Cost: $150 (tours take 90 minutes).

Menu Creation and Planning

Not sure what to eat or how much? Do you lack the time to plan and prepare a healthy diet? Our nutritionist can prepare days or weeks worth of menus to save you time and take the guesswork out of planning. She’ll meet with you for an initial consultation to learn about your nutrition needs and food preferences, and then she’ll create simple, healthy menus that match your taste buds and wellness needs. Cost: $100 per hour.
