The Range
A documented set of nutritional services, each grounded in compositional methodology and structured for measurable progress in daily food habit formation.
Dietary Composition Analysis
A systematic intake review examining macronutrient ratios, micronutrient density, and caloric distribution across a documented 7-day record. The analysis identifies compositional gaps relative to established food-intake reference values for the individual's age, sex, and activity profile.
Output: a written composition report with annotated intake charts and a priority adjustment list. All records are archived under a batch code assigned at the first consultation session.
Meal Planning Architecture
Structured weekly meal planning built around UK seasonal produce cycles and verified ingredient provenance. Each plan incorporates portion methodology calibrated to the individual's energy expenditure data and documented activity level, producing a practical, annotated week-by-week schedule.
Plans are revised fortnightly based on intake feedback and adjusted quarterly to reflect seasonal ingredient availability. The planning archive is maintained under revision-numbered documentation.
Whole-Food Habit Formation
A documented protocol for building durable eating patterns centred on minimally processed whole foods. The programme spans 12 weeks, with structured intake-tracking checkpoints at weeks 4, 8, and 12. Each checkpoint yields a composition review and a record of habit-adherence scores.
Grounded in published nutritional research on dietary behaviour formation, the protocol avoids restrictive elimination approaches in favour of progressive substitution and documented reinforcement cycles.
Weight Management Guidance
A quantified approach combining energy-balance documentation, structured portion control calibration, and periodic follow-up reviews. The guidance is grounded in methodical intake adjustment rather than rapid-change regimes, producing a stable and sustainable pattern of dietary modification.
Each review session documents weight trajectory, body composition notes, and intake compliance against the agreed plan. All data is archived for longitudinal reference.
Sport & Active Lifestyle Nutrition
Nutritional protocols for individuals maintaining a structured sport training schedule or consistently active lifestyle. Service covers macronutrient ratio adjustments for training load, pre- and post-activity composition guidance, and recovery meal timing documentation.
The protocol references published sport-nutrition research on carbohydrate periodisation, protein distribution across the daily intake window, and micronutrient considerations for sustained physical output.
Gut-Friendly Recipe Consultation
Selection and formulation of gut-friendly recipes grounded in published nutritional research covering fermented ingredient profiles, dietary fibre density, and prebiotic food composition. Each recipe in the Granel recipe archive carries a composition review notation referencing source literature.
Consultation includes a personalised recipe selection relevant to the individual's current dietary composition baseline, with batch-verification dates attached to all sourcing notes.
Mindful Eating Protocol
A structured behavioural programme addressing eating pace, distraction reduction at mealtimes, and post-meal satiety documentation. The protocol covers timed meal windows, sensory engagement during eating, and a fortnightly intake review to measure progressive adherence.
Mindful eating at Granel is approached as a measurable behaviour, not an abstract philosophy. Data from satiety records is reviewed alongside the compositional intake report at each follow-up session.
Seasonal Cooking & Sourcing
Guidance on seasonal ingredient selection aligned to UK harvest cycles, with sourcing recommendations that prioritise suppliers maintaining verifiable food-grade processing standards. The service includes a seasonal produce calendar updated quarterly.
Seasonal cooking consultation covers ingredient substitution strategies, micronutrient-density comparisons between in-season and out-of-season alternatives, and preparation techniques that preserve nutritional integrity.
From first session to documented routine.
Every engagement at Granel follows a consistent four-stage structure. The process is designed to produce a documented intake baseline before any planning work commences, ensuring recommendations are grounded in individual composition data rather than generic assumptions.
Full MethodologyInitial Composition Assessment
A baseline dietary intake review covering a 7-day food diary submission, macronutrient distribution analysis, and an initial consultation session to establish the individual's eating pattern context.
Protocol Design
A personalised nutritional protocol is drafted based on the composition assessment output. This covers meal planning structure, portion methodology, and a targeted habit-formation schedule documented for ongoing reference.
Structured Follow-Up Reviews
Fortnightly review sessions track intake adherence, composition changes, and satiety data. Each session produces a revision-numbered update to the individual's protocol, archived in the Granel documentation system.
Longitudinal Record & Adjustment
Over the course of engagement, the individual's composition record builds into a longitudinal reference archive. Seasonal adjustments, lifestyle changes, and activity-level shifts are incorporated as documented protocol revisions.
Service detail and scope.
The initial composition analysis requires one intake-review session plus a follow-up to deliver findings. Ongoing services such as meal planning architecture and the habit-formation protocol are structured around fortnightly review sessions throughout the agreed programme span.
The initial assessment session is conducted at the Granel London practice. Follow-up review sessions can be conducted in person or via sesupport video consultation. All documentation and protocol records are delivered digitally in a structured archive format.
Yes. The most common combination is Dietary Composition Analysis paired with Meal Planning Architecture, as the analysis provides the data foundation on which the plan is built. Sport nutrition and mindful eating protocols are also frequently paired with the weight management guidance service for individuals with active lifestyles.
No prior knowledge is required. Granel's services are structured to be accessible at any starting point. The initial composition assessment is deliberately designed to capture context without assumptions about the individual's existing dietary understanding or food-preparation experience.
All engagements begin with an intake review.
Contact the Granel practice to arrange an initial composition assessment. Sessions are allocated subject to availability and documented prior to commencement.
