What moves the price
- Nutritionist's experience — a nutritionist with specialist training, such as in sports or clinical nutrition, usually charges more per session.
- Complexity of your needs — support for medical conditions takes a deeper assessment than general meal planning.
- Meal plan included — a written personalised meal plan takes preparation after the session, so a package with a plan costs more.
- Duration of follow-up sessions — a longer review of your meal plan costs more than a short check-in.
- In person or online — an online nutrition consultation saves the nutritionist room costs and travel, so it is often priced lower.
Other medical and paramedical services prices in Ireland are up 15% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Other medical and paramedical services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical nutritionist would have cost about €80 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- An online consultation often costs less than meeting in person and still covers the dietary assessment and meal planning.
- Bringing a food diary to the initial session saves assessment time, so less of the paid session goes on questions.
- Follow-up sessions are shorter than the initial assessment, so you can ask whether a quick check-in will do instead of a full review.
- You can ask about a package of nutrition sessions with the meal plan included, which can work out cheaper than paying for each separately.
- Telling the nutritionist your food budget helps them build a meal plan around foods you already buy, keeping shopping costs down.
Before you book
- A record of your current dietary habits and any food preferences.
- Information on any existing health conditions or medications.
- Access to your schedule for planning meal timings.
- Check the nutritionist's qualifications and whether their training covers your needs, such as sports nutrition or a medical condition.
- Mention any food allergies or intolerances when you book so the meal planning can take them into account from the start.
- Agree whether the meal plan and any follow-up messages are included in the session price or charged separately.
