Most nutrition plans are built on generic formulas — population-level averages that have no relationship to your actual lean mass, metabolic rate, or training load. At Atlas, we start differently: your DEXA scan data drives your macronutrient targets from day one.
We measure your visceral fat, lean tissue distribution, and resting metabolic rate before writing a single gram of protein or carbohydrate. The result is a fueling protocol calibrated to what your body actually burns — not an estimate.
Our nutrition consultant then layers your training schedule, recovery modalities, and health history into a 90-day periodized nutrition plan that evolves as your body composition changes — tracked with follow-up DEXA scans every 3–6 months.
Everything the Program Delivers
Your protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets are calculated from your measured lean body mass and visceral fat — not estimations based on height and weight. As your composition changes, targets adjust accordingly.
Nutrition is structured in phases that align with your training cycle: caloric surplus phases for hypertrophy, deficit phases for fat loss, and maintenance phases for performance preservation — all mapped to your schedule.
Personalized Nutrition Plans
We create customized meal plans based on your unique lifestyle, dietary preferences, and health objectives. This ensures that you’re fueling your body with the right nutrients to support performance and longevity.
Performance Optimization
Our consulting focuses on enhancing your physical and mental performance through strategic nutrition. We analyze your current dietary habits and provide guidance on macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, and timing of meals to maximize your energy levels and recovery.
Health and Wellness Guidance
We emphasize the importance of a balanced diet in promoting long-term health. Our services include education on the impact of nutrition on chronic diseases and overall wellness, empowering you to make informed dietary choices.
Ongoing Support and Accountability
Achieving your nutrition goals is a journey, and we’re with you every step of the way. Regular check-ins, progress assessments, and adjustments to your nutrition plan ensure you stay on track and motivated.
A DEXA scan is strongly recommended and included in our full nutrition protocol packages. It allows your nutritionist to base your macro targets on your actual lean body mass rather than body weight, which produces significantly more accurate protein requirements and caloric targets. If you’ve had a recent DEXA scan elsewhere, we can incorporate those results.
Tracking apps calculate your targets using population formulas — typically a total daily energy expenditure estimate based on height, weight, age, and an activity multiplier. Atlas starts with a direct measurement of your body composition and metabolic status. Your plan is written by a nutritionist, adjusted biweekly based on actual progress, and integrated with your training and recovery data from other Atlas services like VO2 Max testing and cryotherapy.
Yes. Our nutritionist works with a wide range of dietary frameworks including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and religious dietary requirements. The intake assessment captures all restrictions and preferences. Macro targets remain objective regardless of food framework — the practical food selection lists are built around what you can and will actually eat.
Our nutritionist is experienced in supporting clients on GLP-1 receptor agonists. Reduced appetite and altered gastric motility require specific nutritional strategies — particularly around protein adequacy and muscle preservation. We build plans that complement GLP-1 pharmacology to ensure fat loss prioritizes adipose tissue, not lean mass. DEXA monitoring every 6–8 weeks confirms this.
Most clients notice improved energy, reduced inflammation, and better training performance within 2–3 weeks of adherence to their protocol. Measurable body composition changes — visible on the follow-up DEXA scan — typically occur within 6–8 weeks for clients following a structured deficit or surplus protocol. The 90-day framework is designed to produce results that are sustainable and confirmed by objective data, not scale weight alone.
Yes. Atlas offers a 90-Day Performance Nutrition package that includes your initial DEXA scan, four biweekly nutritionist check-ins, a follow-up rescan, and access to your Atlas profile dashboard. We also offer bundled programs that combine nutrition coaching with VO2 Max testing, cryotherapy, and strength training — creating a fully integrated performance and longevity protocol.
