A macro app gives you a number to hit and leaves you to figure the rest out. Online nutrition coaching gives you a coach. You get personalized targets, weekly check-ins, real conversations about what worked and what didn't, and adjustments based on how your body, training, and life are actually responding. The app teaches you to log; coaching teaches you to fuel.

Not with us. CBG's coaching is built around portion frameworks, meal templates, and habit-based skills so you stop relying on a calculator. Most clients track during the first few weeks to learn what their plan looks like in practice, then graduate off tracking entirely. If you've been counting calories for years and want to stop, we have a specific transition pathway — read our guide to stopping calorie counting without losing progress.

Pricing depends on the program, the coach, and the length of your engagement. Most online nutrition coaching packages fall in the range of $200–$500 per month, and CBG sits in that range. Rather than publish a flat menu of prices, we run a free 15-minute discovery call so we can match you with a coach and the right package for your goal. Book a call and we'll walk through current options.

For most goals, yes — and often more effective. In-person coaching is constrained by your physical proximity to the coach. Online coaching lets you pick a coach whose specialty actually matches your goal (high-intensity sport performance, body recomposition, perimenopause fueling, GLP-1 nutrition support). The check-ins are async, which means you message your coach when something comes up — not three weeks later at the next office visit.

The first call is an intake: 30–45 minutes covering your history, training, eating patterns, and what success looks like for you. Your coach builds a custom plan, and the next call walks you through it. After that, you have a recurring weekly or bi-weekly check-in cadence, plus on-demand messaging through your coaching dashboard.

CBG is US-based and serves clients across the US most heavily, but coaching is fully online so we work with athletes in Canada, the UK, Australia, the EU, and beyond. Time zones can affect call scheduling but are not a barrier to coaching.

Both are common. Our coaches build plans around dietary patterns — vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher, halal — and we have specific experience supporting clients on GLP-1 medications, where the coaching focus shifts toward protein adequacy, muscle preservation, and managing the appetite changes the medication produces. Mention it on your discovery call and we'll match you with a coach who has done this before.
