Hi! I've been doing gym and some cardio for 5 months, but I feel like I'm always improvising in the kitchen and it's messing with my progress. I hate guessing with my meals, so I want some legit help. Anyone know where I can find good online nutritionists that aren't scams or super generic?
So far, the best tip I've gotten was from a coworker about these nutrition appointments (called Nutrium something) included in my Gympass benefit. Anybody have any feedback on this?

There is a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum so you ask questions here as a starting point.
Super generic is not a bad thing as nutrition isn’t that complicated however many nutritionists make things complicated trying to seem overly knowledgeable1 -
One approach that may work for you is to be systematic with your eating. In other words, you make something for breakfast, lunch, dinner.............know what the macro/micros and calories are, then eat the same thing each day. While it may get boring, it takes the guess work out.

In the US, look for a Registered Dietitian rather than a nutritionist. You can probably get a referral from your doctor and possibly have it covered by health insurance.
I get my healthcare from the VA and have been offered and accepted numerous consultations with RD. However, I've gotten more value from the forums here on MFP.

Yesterday, I talked more with my colleague and got motivated to give it a try. Gympass has a big list of available dietitians, so I was able to schedule an appointment for the same day, and honestly, I’m a fan so far.
She was super practical and moderate with her recommendations, and with their app (Nutrium), I can chat with her any time. Last night, I found myself messaging her while shopping because I had some doubts to clear up. Basically, I’ve found what I was looking for!3
