The clients must be physically fit and healthy and seek guidance for goals such as, for example, establishing a more balanced diet, or would like to change their nutrition habits to support weight loss or muscle building.

In contrast to a nutritionist (also called dietician), a nutrition coach (or dietary adviser or consultant) may not advise individuals with physical conditions and illnesses, such as food allergies or digestive tract conditions.

In the context of self-employment, writing nutrition plans or diet plans is not permitted for nutrition coaches. The distribution or sharing of information in the context of an educational event (e.g. seminars, workshops, lectures, etc.) does not require a trade permit according to § 2 GewO , meaning this is within the potential scope of a nutrition coach. Nutrition or dietary training is allowed, as long as it does not infringe upon the area of nutrition counseling (§ 119 Abs.1 GewO).
