How much nutritional advice can i give without a nutritionist's license?

I am a recently certified personal fitness instructor (through W.I.T.S.) and I can not seem to find a definitive answer as to how in depth my dietary advice can be without getting into possible legal liability. I realize the obvious answer would be ';None';, but that means I wouldn't be doing my job as best as I could be. I have a thorough and concrete knowledge of nutrition, I merely lack the credentials for now.How much nutritional advice can i give without a nutritionist's license?
Hello, my name is Rachel, I am also a personal trainer, but through AFFA, and I have worked with many people who have asked me what they should eat. When people ask me that question I don't give them meal plans, we are not allowed to do that. What we can do is tell them what to add to their meal plan, such as, 20-30 grams of fiber, balance carbohydrates with their protein and fat, try to avoid trans-fatty foods, limit sat. fat foods and eat all different colors of fruits and vegetables. Also, if you are not familiar with the food pyramid, print one out, that was made from trained perfessionals. If you give your clients that print out it gives them a chance to pick out what they like to eat.How much nutritional advice can i give without a nutritionist's license?
all you have to do is let your client know you're not a licensed nutritionist, but you have the common sense and the knowledge due to the nature of your job that you can give them very good ';advice';. After that you can say as much as you want
