In brief
You’ll have a weekly food plan you can run on autopilot, plus clear check-ins and small adjustments that keep you moving, even when work, family meals, and social plans change.
You reached out because you want a plan you can follow through shifts, family meals, business lunches, and aperitivo, without judgment or extremes. Next, we’ll book your intake and start with a 7-day food log.
We start by listening, then we work from what’s on your plate. We’ll take baseline measures, review a 7-day food log, and build a meal plan with macronutrient targets you can hit with normal shopping and normal days. Each week you’ll send a quick check-in, and we’ll adjust the plan to match what your week really looks like.
A bit about us
We’re Riva Nutrizione, a small nutrition coaching team based in Bologna. We started working together because we kept seeing the same pattern: people were given strict rules, then blamed when real life showed up. Our work is built around real meals, real schedules, and a plan you can repeat on a busy week.
Most clients pick us because we stay practical and we stay with you. We read what you send, we reply with specific changes, and we keep the tone calm. We don’t use shame as motivation, and we don’t push supplements or restrictions to make a plan look “serious”. If something isn’t working, we change the plan, not the person.
Meet the team
You’ll work with the same small group throughout, so your notes don’t disappear into a system.
Team
Giulia Rinaldi, Nutrition coach. Giulia Rinaldi runs your intake, builds your core plan, and turns your week into meals you can actually repeat.
Marco Venturi, Sports nutrition coach. Marco Venturi handles sports nutrition planning, including training weeks, competition days, and what to do when sessions move.
Elena Barbieri, Client check-ins coordinator. Elena Barbieri keeps weekly check-ins moving, makes sure you get a reply on time, and helps with scheduling changes.

Your sessions
Sessions are a mix of conversation and numbers. The intake is longer, then check-ins are shorter and focused. We meet online or in person, and you’ll bring your 7-day food log plus any recent bloodwork or notes from your doctor if you want us to use them.
1. Intake session First session We go through your goals, your schedule, your typical meals, and what has and hasn’t worked before. We take baseline measures and agree what we will track. If you have blood tests or guidance from your doctor, we’ll review them and note any non-negotiables. 2. Food log review First week You’ll log seven days of food and drink in a simple format. We look for patterns you can change without turning your life upside down, like where protein drops off, where meals get skipped, and what happens on long workdays or social nights. 3. Weekly check-in Each week You send a short update with your weight or measurements if you’re tracking them, plus a few lines on how the week went. We reply with specific edits for the next week, such as portion changes, meal swaps, and how to handle the meals you can’t fully control. 4. Progress review Every 4 weeks We step back and look at trends: adherence, hunger, energy, training performance, and measurements. We keep what is working, adjust what is stalling, and update targets if your routine, training load, or bloodwork guidance changes.
Pricing
Most people start with the monthly plan so we can review your first week, adjust quickly, and then do a proper progress review at week four.

Fee summary
Do you work around my work hours and family meals?
Yes. We build your plan around your real week, including shifts, school runs, family dinners, and work lunches. When your week changes, you tell us in the check-in and we adjust the plan so it still fits.
ARE YOU GOING TO CUT OUT PASTA, BREAD, OR ESPRESSO?
No. We don’t start with bans. We’ll set targets and portions that work with the foods you already eat, including pasta, bread, and coffee. If something needs to change, we’ll change the amount, timing, or pairing, not your whole culture.
HOW OFTEN DO WE CHECK IN, AND WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME EACH WEEK?
You’ll send one check-in each week. We’ll ask for a short note on how the week went, your food log highlights, and any measurements you’re tracking. If training is part of your week, include what sessions you did and how they felt.
CAN YOU WORK WITH MY BLOOD TESTS OR WHAT MY DOCTOR TOLD ME?
Yes. You can share bloodwork and any written guidance from your doctor, and we’ll build your nutrition coaching plan around it. We’ll stay in our lane and use it to shape food choices, targets, and priorities for the week.
Payment
Monthly and 3-month nutrition coaching are invoiced at the start of each period, before the sessions in it take place. Each invoice is payable within 7 days of its date.
Scheduling. We’ll book your intake session at a time that works for your week. Weekly check-ins happen on an agreed day, and we’ll keep that rhythm unless you ask to change it.
Cancellation. If you need to move a session, tell us as early as you can. Our cancellation notice window and any late-cancellation fee are set by us and confirmed when you book.
No shows. If you miss a booked session without notice, we treat it as a no-show. Any no-show fee is set by us and confirmed when you book.
Using your plan
Your meal plan and targets are built from what you share with us, including your food log and check-ins. If your routine, training, or appetite changes, tell us that week so we can adjust.
Food logs and messages. You’ll send one check-in each week with your short note and food log highlights. We reply in writing with adjustments and next steps, and we may ask a few follow-up questions to fill gaps.
Bloodwork. You can share blood tests and written guidance from your doctor, and we’ll use them to shape food choices and targets. We don’t diagnose or interpret results as a medical provider.
Not medical care. Nutrition coaching supports food choices, planning, and consistency. It isn’t medical care or therapy, and we can’t promise a specific outcome from any plan or time period.
