    I'm with the VA and had access to a registered dietitian for free but actually find the MFP forums more helpful.

    Are you working out at a gym? Try the trainers there. If you don't feel like the first is a good fit, don't be shy about trying another one.

    I wouldn't get nutritional advice from a trainer unless their nutritional credentials were rock solid.

    My in-person dietician was very helpful. I was able to get heavily discounted sessions through my gym, which is hospital owned. I saw her early on, when I was still floundering and confused, and had ignorantly divided foods into “good” and “bad”. She was a hospital staff dietician.

    My health insurer provided free phone dietician sessions. I felt like I knew more about what I needed after three years of carefully watching my diet than she did- and I think I gave her more motivation than the other way around.

    Agree with @kshama2001 there is excellent dietary advice and support here on MFP- if you’re willing to invest the time in your own health to read and absorb.

    One thing to beware of, if you’re here in the US- “Dieticians” are degreed and certified professionals. Anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist”- including people involved in pyramid schemes, Social Media folks influencing you to partake of pills or diet plans, the guy at the gym getting a cut on every box of bars or jar of shake mix. Even my beloved yoga studio rents out space to a juice bar that pushes “cleanses” as being nutritious, necessary and healthy.
