Medical history form in the nutritionist software
The anamnesis is the be-all and end-all of every nutritional consultation: with our software solution, smart, digital and efficient
For you as a nutritionist, the anamnesis form is the basic building block and starting point for developing a nutritional concept for your customer. Successful nutritional advice is usually always individual and takes into account all of the customer's important personal parameters. The entire individual nutritional planning is based on this. In order to be able to provide your customers with optimal advice and support, you should know their physical data and their individual nutritional and exercise habits as best as possible.
Anamnesis incredibly intuitive and impressively detailed
This is how you record your customers smartly with the medical history form in our nutritionist software.
The collection primarily involves anthropometric data such as gender, age, height and body weight. The anamnesis form should also ask about the customer's goals. In addition, information about food intolerances and allergies, food preferences and eating habits should be recorded, as well as previous experiences with nutritional coaching and previous attempts to achieve the stated goal. If necessary, it is also a good idea to ask the customer for an assessment of their nutritional knowledge.
You record all of this data intuitively and centrally in the digital medical history form, which is integrated into the nutrition software.
You determine your workflows: Got the hang of it already?
Anamnesis directly in the app or with a PDF anamnesis form
Either way, filling out an anamnesis form should be an integral part of your coaching concept. Customer data can be recorded either in the first coaching session or in advance via email.
Our nutrition software has an integrated medical history form. Depending on how you as a coach structure your nutritional advice, you can carry out the anamnesis with your client in the “classic” way in advance via PDF in order to then coordinate the nutritional concept.
Alternatively, you also have the option of going through the digital medical history form live with the customer and creating the nutritional concept together with them.

Medical history form in the nutritionist software
After you have registered a new customer, log in directly to your customer's account from your dashboard. To do this, update the dashboard page so that your newly created customer's data record appears in the customer overview. Immediately after logging in, you will answer the medical history form to personalize your nutritional concept. The nutrition software guides you step by step through the individual parameters, which we present in detail below.
Determine the customer's goal
The first step in the anamnesis form is to determine your customer's goal. Here you choose between 3 basic options: increase performance, manage weight or increase well-being.
Increase performance
Your customer would like to improve their performance - both on a physical and psychological level - and optimally support them through nutrition? Then select “Increase performance” and specify the selection by specifying which sport you want to increase your performance in.
Manage weight
Does your customer want to work on his figure and either gain weight, especially muscles, or lose a few extra pounds in a healthy and sustainable way without having to starve? Perfect, then specify your weight goal in the next step. Here you can choose between the following options: lose weight, muscle definition, muscle building, gain weight, maintain weight.
Increase well-being
Your customer wants to improve their well-being, live healthier and therefore eat more consciously. However, is his/her diet too monotonous? Choose this selection if your customer wants to feel fresher and more energetic, eat a more balanced diet overall or regenerate better through an adapted diet.
Determine client's calorie and macronutrient goals
In the next step, you determine your customer’s calorie needs. Here the medical history form gives you two options: Either you have it calculated using a calorie calculator. Or, if the value is already known, you enter your customer's calorie needs yourself.
You also have the option to freely determine the distribution of the macronutrients proteins, carbohydrates and fats. This makes sense if you have previously carried out a body check or genetic analysis with the customer or specify a special diet in your coaching sessions.
The following formula regarding the distribution of macronutrients is used if you do NOT determine the macronutrients yourself.
- Proteins: 1.5 g / kg body weight
- Fats: 0.7 g / kg body weight
- Carbohydrates: The remaining calories
You have two options for your own modified distribution of macronutrients:
- Set macronutrient distribution in absolute gram values
- Set macronutrients in percentage ratio
Calorie calculator for recording basic physical data
First, you enter your customer's basic physical data into the medical history form using the calorie calculator: gender, age, height and body weight. Based on this data, the calorie calculator in the nutrition software determines your customer's basal metabolic rate, i.e. the calorie consumption that the body needs to maintain vital functions. These include, among other things, maintaining body temperature, breathing and organ functions.
The Harris-Benedict formula is used to calculate the basal metabolic rate.
- For women: 655.1 + (9.6 x body weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) – (4.7 x age in years)
- For men: 66.47 + (13.7 x body weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) – (6.8 x age in years)
Sleep
Sleep duration and sleep quality affect the entire daily routine. If we don't sleep or sleep too little, the function of our brain is greatly affected. Memory performance decreases, as well as the ability to concentrate, reaction speed, determination and endurance. We also lose the sense of time, space and planning.
Sleep also influences our emotions, our physical health and of course our regeneration. As a result, poor and too little sleep has a negative impact on our mood and our stamina. Good sleep, on the other hand, ensures more energy, a healthy body and improved regeneration.
Calorie calculator to record the customer's activity level
Beyond the basic metabolic rate, every other activity counts towards the performance turnover. The questions about recording activity levels are relevant if you use a calorie calculator to calculate your customer's calorie goal. The power turnover is calculated using the 'metabolic equivalent' (MET).
Calorie calculator for work activity level
By determining the activity level at work, you indicate in the calorie calculator how much the customer moves at work and therefore burns calories.
Mostly sitting
Examples of occupations that involve mostly sedentary jobs include: office job, precision mechanic, school student, driving a vehicle in traffic, teacher, judge, etc.
Sitting and standing
Examples of careers that alternate between sitting and standing jobs include: police officer, doctor, househusband, warehouse worker, cashier, etc.
Mostly standing
Examples of occupations that are most common in the profession are: light crafts (e.g. electrical or painting business), car mechanic, salesperson in retail, nursing professions, social work, etc.
Hard physical
Examples of occupational work that involve heavy physical work include: Heavy trades, construction workers, roofers, agricultural, animal and forestry jobs, miners, high-performance athletes, etc.
Calorie calculator for leisure activity level
By determining the activity level in your free time, you indicate in the calorie calculator how much the customer moves in their free time and therefore burns calories.
Hardly active
After work, your customer prefers to put his feet up and usually travels by car or train. His leisure activities are mainly limited to watching TV, internet, reading, gaming and generally relaxing.
Quite active
In his free time, your customer does household chores, also likes to go for a walk outside the house and raise the children. He also likes to ride his bike or walk to get from A to B.
Very active
For example, your customer regularly cycles or walks and uses his free time to do sports, go dancing and be active. Typical activities in his free time are: sports, dancing, climbing stairs, heavy gardening, etc.
Sport
In order to be holistically fit and healthy, an exercise and training concept plays an important role alongside nutrition. In this step, you coordinate training and nutrition and select your client's primary sport as well as the sports days.
Endurance sports
Typical examples of endurance sports include jogging, cycling and swimming at low intensity.
Strength training
Typical examples of strength training are bodybuilding or strength training in the gym or at home. But CrossFit or exercises with your own body weight, such as freeletics or calisthenics, are also included.
Another low-impact sport
Typical examples of low-impact sports include yoga, tai chi, golf or ping pong.
Another medium-impact sport
Typical examples of medium-impact sports include football, tennis, squash, badminton or horse riding.
Another high-impact sport
Typical examples of high-impact sports include HIIT, boxing, handball, intensive swimming or athletics.
Not at all
Choose this option if your customer doesn't do any sports at all.
Sport days
After you have determined in the anamnesis form which type of sport the customer primarily practices, the next step is to select how often and on which days of the week they do sport. To do this, activate the corresponding days of the week.
Choice of diet
Based on the calculated calorie requirements, you can now tailor your customer's nutritional concept to his eating habits, everyday life, budget, taste and other individual needs.
Let's start with your customer's diet: Here you choose between omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan and paleo. You can also activate the “intermittent fasting” checkbox for all diets in order to later specifically determine the time window in which your customer is allowed to eat.
Please note that - regardless of the diet you choose - in the "Food exclusion" step you can further specify your customer's eating preferences and exclude individual foods that do not appeal.
Omnivore
As an omnivore, your customer basically doesn't go without anything when it comes to their diet. So it feeds on both plant and animal foods.
Pescetarian
As a pescatarian, you are a special form of vegetarian - you avoid eating the meat of warm-blooded animals, but fish is on your menu.
Vegetarian
As an (ovo-lacto) vegetarian, you eat predominantly plant-based foods and avoid meat and fish. Other animal products such as eggs, honey or milk (products), however, end up on your menu.
Vegan
As a vegan, you not only avoid consuming meat and fish, but also all animal products.
Paleo
As a Paleo advocate, you avoid eating processed foods that were only available through agriculture and livestock farming. This includes grain products, legumes, dairy products, sugar and highly processed vegetable fats.
Consideration of intolerances
In the next step, you can take your customer’s food intolerances into account. Here you can select fructose, lactose, gluten, sucrose or histamine with a click. Multiple selection is also possible. You confirm your selection by clicking on “Next”. If your customer doesn't have an intolerance, just click "None."
Fructose
Fructose (also fructose) is a natural form of sugar that is mainly found in fruits such as pome fruits and berries or in honey. Fructose malabsorption is a metabolic disorder. The body cannot adequately absorb the fructose contained in food due to a disturbed transport system in the small intestine. This results in digestive problems such as flatulence or diarrhea.
Lactose
Lactose intolerance refers to the body's inability to properly digest milk sugar (lactose). As the name suggests, lactose is found in almost all dairy products. Consuming foods containing lactose can cause digestive problems such as bloating, diarrhea or stomach pain.
Gluten
Celiac disease is an intestinal disease. It is triggered by a misguided immune reaction to the gluten protein, which is found in many types of grain (wheat, rye, barley or spelt). This can result in severe pain and bloating.
Sucrose
Sucrose intolerance refers to a food intolerance in which the consumption of table sugar (sucrose) and malt sugar (matose) is not tolerated. This is because there is an enzyme deficiency disease of the small intestine, in which the breakdown of sucrose and maltose does not work or does not work properly. In people with sucrose intolerance, consuming foods containing sucrose and maltose can cause abdominal pain or cramps, diarrhea, and nausea and vomiting.
Histamine
In people who complain of histamine intolerance, the very histamine - which is involved in our immune system's defense against foreign substances - is not broken down or is broken down only insufficiently. Typical symptoms associated with excessive consumption of foods containing histamine can include blood pressure disorders, headaches/migraines, skin irritation or breathing difficulties.
Setting the food budget
Next, use the medical history form to determine the budget your customer would like to spend on food. Choose “Inexpensive”, “Normal” or “Premium” and thus determine the price level of the food.
Inexpensive
Your customer wants to eat a low budget diet and his diet should be based primarily on inexpensive foods.
Normal
The diet planning should also include foods that are sometimes a little more exclusive and in the middle price segment.
Premium
The customer's diet is very important and he likes to eat something special. This information does not restrict your choice of food.
Note that setting your food budget will also affect the projected costs listed for each recipe. For “inexpensive” the costs are calculated mainly on the basis of own-brand products, while for “premium” organic food and branded products are the basis for the calculation.
Determination of the maximum cooking time
This allows you to determine the maximum amount of time your customer has to prepare each meal. Choose “Little”, “Normal” or “Extensive” and take into account how much time your customer has in everyday life.
Few
The proposed recipes will not exceed the preparation time of 20 minutes.
Normal
The proposed recipes will not exceed the preparation time of 45 minutes.
Extensive
With this selection you do not limit the maximum preparation time.
Determination of meal frequency
In the “Meal Frequency” step you have the option to flexibly design the number of meals for your customer. You can also change the distribution of calories across individual meals and set different meal times.
Change the percentage distribution of calories
With this setting you determine the percentage ratio in which the calories should be distributed between the individual meals. Make sure that the total always adds up to 100%.
Add or reduce meals to your plan
To integrate another meal into your customer's plans, simply activate the check mark for a snack, for example. The meal becomes active and you can then use the slider to determine how many calories should be in the snack as a percentage.
You can also remove snacks or main meals to give your customer a lower meal frequency.
Important: The meal frequency should be set so that the average meal does not exceed 800 calories. Otherwise, inaccuracies in the plan creation may result.
Change time
In order to optimally adapt the nutrition plans to your client's daily routine, you as a coach also have the opportunity to set and change the times at which meals are eaten
Determination of eating habits
In the medical history form, under "Eating Habits", choose whether your customer would like to prepare every meal fresh or whether he would like to cook his meal in advance in the evening for the next lunch. With the meal prep variant, you also have the option of determining the pre-cooking days.
The 3rd option is "Don't cook". When making this selection, the software only considers recipes that do not require the use of a stove or oven. This means that the recipe selection is more limited.
Every meal fresh
Your customer has enough time and enough motivation to prepare every meal fresh. This way he can guarantee himself the greatest variety and the processing of fresh food is also guaranteed.
Cook in the evening for the next lunch
Your customer likes to stand in the kitchen and prepare his meals. But I also find it very practical to cook for the next day, for example to take it to work to save time or simply because some foods cannot be bought in smaller quantities.
Don't cook
Your customer doesn't like cooking or has little time to prepare his food. This option only takes into account recipes that do not use a stove or oven. Please note, however, that this option severely limits the recipe selection.
Food exclusion
In the last step, you also have the opportunity to exclude foods using the medical history form. This allows you to optimally respond to tastes or specify food intolerances.
Please note that depending on the selected diet and/or food intolerance, the foods that are not suitable for this are already automatically deactivated.
To exclude a food, click on a main category and open the respective box. Then simply deactivate the foods that should not be taken into account when creating the nutritional concept.
Complete the medical history form
By clicking on “Continue” the personalized nutrition concept for your customer will be created fully automatically within a very short time.
Based on this nutritional concept - see it as a template - you can now adapt and specify it as you wish. To do this, you can, among other things, swap recipes as you wish, adjust ingredient quantities and change the plan settings at any time.
As a coach, you can respond flexibly to your customer's needs in order to offer them effective online nutritional support based on the app.
