Thanks guys all good suggestions!

Youngblood i really hadn't even begun to think about the personality of the nutritionist involved! I'm glad you got me thinking about it!

I'm wondering if (taking into account what you've said) I might actually be better off looking for a female nutritionist to take into account all the little details!

Rather than a male who might be tempted to stereotype me and assume I just have goals more typical of a young woman (to be anorexic looking) - I admit a really common Q/comment for me when I tell men I box has always been "so you do boxercise classes - how often - once a week?"

I'm also wondering if there are standard blood tests people might ask to get done by a GP to see where my Fe, Ca, Zn etc etc levels are?
