A free intro call
We talk through where you are, what you have tried, and whether the programme is a fit. No pressure, no pitch deck.
Online nutrition coaching · for expats in Germany
Eat well in a country that isn't home yet.
Lose the weight, then keep it off, with a real coach who knows the German supermarket, the language gap, and the start-stop cycle you are tired of. One to one, in English, built to last six months and beyond.
Certified nutrition coach (OTL) · M.Sc. behind the method · No crash diets
Launching soon
The programme isn't open yet
I'm taking a small first group before opening properly. Early places get Flourish-level support at around the Rooted price, or less - exact terms confirmed with you before anything starts.
No payment, no commitment. Joining the list just means you hear first when places open.
How it works
A calm start, then steady work
Your starting picture
You track your normal week so we both see the real baseline. Then we meet to go through it and map out the plan together.
Six months of guided change
Regular video check-ins, clear next steps, and answers when you are stuck. We build the habits, then we make sure they hold.
The difference
Six months, not six weeks
Almost anyone can eat well for a few weeks. The hard part is week twelve, the holiday, the stressful Tuesday. The programme is built in two halves: an active phase where the numbers move, and a stabilising phase where the habits learn to hold.

Coaching that fits an expat life
Video check-ins, not chat
Every check-in comes back as a short personal video plus a written summary. You see a face and hear a plan, not a wall of text.
Made for Germany
Real advice for Aldi, Lidl, and Rewe, the Mittagstisch, and the bakery. Built around the food that is actually in front of you.
Sustainable, never extreme
No banned foods, no crash plans. We change what you eat in ways you can keep doing once the programme ends.
A coach who is qualified
A certified nutrition coach with a mathematician's eye for what the numbers do and do not say. Honest, never hype.
Meet your coach
Hi, I'm Daniël
I moved, I cooked badly, and I learned the hard way that eating well somewhere new is mostly about systems, not willpower. I am a certified nutrition coach with a background in mathematics, and I built Nutrition Gnome for people who want a steady hand rather than another app.
My promise is simple: clear next steps, honest feedback, and a plan you can actually keep.
Honest comparison
Coaching, an app, or doing it yourself
| What you get | Nutrition Gnome | A tracking app | Going it alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who looks at your week | A coach, on video, every fortnight | Nobody, you read your own charts | You, when there is time |
| When life gets in the way | The plan gets adjusted with you | The streak breaks and the reminders keep coming | Usually where it falls apart |
| Built for German shops and labels | Yes, Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, the bakery | Generic database, often US portions | Whatever you can work out yourself |
| After the weight is off | Three months of making it hold | You are on your own | You are on your own |
| Told honestly if it is not a fit | On the free intro call | Never, it wants the subscription | No one to ask |
| Typical cost | From €250 a month | €5–15 a month | Free |
No catch
What you are not signing up for
Nothing to pay to talk
The intro call is free and there is no card, no form, and no pitch deck at the end of it.
Billed monthly, never upfront
You pay month by month across the programme, not six months in one go, and future months can be cancelled in line with the agreement we sign.
An honest fit check
If I do not think I am the right person to help you, I will say so on the call and point you somewhere better.
Your data stays yours
Your log is used to coach you and nothing else. No selling it on, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any point.
Questions
The three people ask first
Is this right for me?
If you want to lose weight or build steadier eating habits and you would rather have a real person guiding you than another app, yes. The programme suits busy people who have tried the start-stop cycle before and want something that lasts.
I have a diagnosed condition. Can you still help?
Coaching here is for generally healthy adults. If you have a diagnosed condition such as obesity treated by a doctor, or a history of disordered eating, I work alongside your physician and will ask for their sign-off before we start. Your health comes first.
How do payments work?
Programmes are billed monthly. You can cancel future months in line with the agreement we sign at the start. Payment runs through a standard European provider.
