KNOWLEDGE/MOTIVE SCALE

NOVICE INTERMEDIATE ADVANCEDWhat is the GOAL?

• Eats 2-3 x a day• Little to no fruits, veg• Forgets to hydrate• Impulsive due to lack of

planning• Lacks routine • Picky eating may inhibit

nutrient consumption• Medications may cause

some issues above• Hydration issues

• Eats 4x a day• Unbalanced• Puts in some effort to

attempt to get in some fruits/vegetables

• Mediocre hydration practices

• May want quick fix from asupplement

• Eats 5-6 x a day, routine in place

• Fuels and Recovers• No hydration issues• Balanced with macros,

fruits, vegetables• May even know calories

and macros from food logging

• Eats a planned pm snack • Adds in supplementation

because foundation isestablished
