Calculators for private practice dietitians
Two working calculators for the numbers that decide whether a nutrition counseling practice pays you properly: what your caseload actually collects, and what the unbilled week costs.
Nutrition counseling has an awkward economics problem. The billable unit is a session, but the work is spread across plan building, grocery thinking, check in messages and the documentation that follows. Look only at your per session rate and the practice looks healthy. Count the unbilled hours around it and the picture changes, sometimes dramatically.
These two calculators are built on the arithmetic dietitians in private practice actually argue about: what a caseload collects once no shows and late cancels are taken out, and how many hours a month disappear into producing plans and answering check ins. Change the defaults to your own numbers. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere.

Meal plan production load calculator
Count the hours your practice spends producing weekly plans and answering between session messages, then see what that time is worth at your own rate.
Working document
The weekly meal plan handoff checklist
A step by step checklist for the part of nutrition counseling that decides retention: what you confirm before you build the week, how you hand it over, and what you check by Thursday.
Why these calculators are open to any dietitian
No sign up, no email, no account. A registered dietitian working out whether her caseload actually pays her should not have to trade an address for arithmetic she could scratch on the back of a superbill. Nothing you enter is stored, nothing is sent anywhere, and both calculators work exactly the same whether or not you ever open a NourishPlanner demo.
Most of this math is already happening somewhere in your practice, usually in a notebook or a spreadsheet tab you named practice numbers in your first year on panels. You multiply active clients by visits a month, knock off the no shows and late cancels, subtract liability insurance and the software line, then try to remember how many Sunday evenings went into building plans nobody cooked past Tuesday. Done by hand once a year, the figure only tells you where you have been. Done in ninety seconds, you can rerun it the week you raise your rate, drop a panel, or notice that half the caseload stopped eating the planned breakfast by Thursday.
When meal plan production becomes a second job
If the numbers above just told you that Sunday builds and between session messages take a working week out of every month, the next question is which of those hours are clinical judgment and which are assembly. Bring your own figures to a demo and we will separate them. NourishPlanner is built to take the assembly and leave the judgment with you.
