Nutrition Coaching
in Calgary and Online
For busy people who know what to eat and still can't make it stick. Lose body fat. Get your energy back. Keep it going when work gets busy.
You already know the basics. Eat more protein. Eat more vegetables. Go easy on the drinks.
The hard part is doing it on a week with three client dinners, two flights and a 7 a.m. meeting.
That's what Ludus nutrition coaching is for. We build a plan around your real week, review it with you every week, and change it when your life changes.
[ Who we work with ]
Who We Work With
We work best with people who are ready to put in the work and want someone in their corner.
- Busy professionals and business owners who eat out and travel a lot
- People who want to lose 20 pounds or more and keep it off
- People who have tried a few diets and are tired of starting over
- Recreational athletes who want to fuel their training properly
- Anyone who wants a clear plan and honest feedback every week
Who This Is Not For
We're nutrition coaches. We are not dietitians or nutritionists, and we don't treat medical conditions.
If you need help with diabetes, kidney disease, celiac disease, ongoing gut problems or an eating disorder, start with a registered dietitian.
Not sure which one you need? Read our guide: Dietitian vs. Nutritionist vs. Nutrition Coach.
It's also not a fit if you aren't willing to track your food. Tracking is how we give you real feedback.
[ How it works ]
How Does Nutrition Coaching Work?
We learn where you're starting
We talk through what you want, why it matters, how you eat now and what your weeks look like. Two people who both want to lose 20 pounds can need very different plans.
We build a plan that fits your week
We don't change everything at once. We pick a few things that will make the biggest difference and start there. If your protein is low, we might fix breakfast and lunch first.
We review it every week
You log your food and fill out a short weekly check-in. Your coach reviews it and sends feedback. Every two weeks we get on a 30-minute call.
We adjust around real life
Travel, restaurants and busy stretches at work are part of the plan. We help you pick reliable restaurant orders, find easy high-protein meals, or simplify what you track. Over time, you learn to make those calls yourself.

[ FAQ ]
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a nutritionist?
No. In Alberta, "nutritionist" is a protected title, the same as "dietitian". Only registered dietitians can use it. Liam is a Precision Nutrition Level 2 Certified Coach. We coach healthy adults who want to lose body fat and build better eating habits.
If you are looking for a nutritionist in Calgary because of a medical condition, a registered dietitian is the right fit, and we will point you to one.
Do I have to track my food?
Yes. We ask you to log what you eat and drink so we can give you useful feedback. Your records don't need to be perfect. You do need to be willing to do it.
How long do I need to commit?
There is a three-month minimum. Most people should plan for six months, depending on the goal and the starting point.
Do I need to live in Calgary?
No. Coaching is delivered online. Availability is subject to the requirements that apply where you live.
Is nutrition coaching covered by my benefits?
Usually not under dietitian coverage, because we are not registered dietitians. Some health spending accounts may cover coaching. Check with your benefits provider before you book.
Can I do nutrition coaching and personal training together?
Yes. They are priced separately, and your coaches coordinate with each other. See Personal Training in Calgary.
