But I'll check out the programs you all posted first. Not sure about the macro part though?
it sounds like you are trying to hire a coach to compete and help you with nutrition and lifting?
which is fine- but on line coaching is risky.
Can you help us out here- what specifically are your goals? It sounds a lot like you're going to lose money when you absolutely have free tools available to you right now.0 -

Unless it's @SideSteel . He is fairly knowledge.
In all seriousness OP, I can program all of your nutrition stuff and that is free. I break out calories, macros and even discuss dietary strategies. And if you want good programming, there many free options or even books that would provide to a variety of options, which are good as a starting point. And often will provide you equal or even better results than many online trainers.4 -

From what I gather from the OP's previous postings, it sounds like she would like more in depth guidance, basically - eat this, do this program etc.. to take the guess work out of everything especially since she is short on time. Also someone to be on top of her to keep her accountable. Some people prefer to be told what to do, given homework so the don't have to spent time thinking about all that and can focus on other things. Am I right @Famof72015 ? Just make sure the coach is reputable, worth your money and giving you the results you desire.4 -

That is fair. While i haven't used sidesteel, he pretty much just uses me for my mad mod skills, he gets great feedback in his forum.... so something to consider.0 -
Thanks for the mentions
To the OP: If this (the coach you are considering) is a coach who gives you feedback and who considers your goals and limitations when making recommendations then you're at least a step ahead of the cookie-cutter types of coaches who basically hand you a template.
I do agree that there's a HUGE range of competency from coach to coach (not to mention I've heard of ridiculous variability in pricing from $37/month to over $600/month and darn near everything in between).
Some are great but some others aren't really even coaching, they're sending pre made programs.
There certainly are several free resources you can use like others have mentioned, and while people can and do make progress from these, I don't think these are a replacement for good coaching.
While I don't know who you're considering, she sounds like she's taking your circumstances into consideration and if she's getting on Skype with you for check ins, this is a good thing and it's more in depth than many other coaches get.
Good luck!2 -

Exactly what I gathered. Nothing wrong with a hands on person.1
