What does a nutritionist cost in Malta?
An initial consultation with a nutritionist or dietitian in Malta typically costs €60 to €85 for about an hour, and follow ups €40 to €55. The figures below come from price pages Malta practices publish, checked September 2026. Each practitioner sets their own fees, so treat them as a guide, not a quote.
| Service | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Initial consultation (about 60 minutes) | €60 to €85 |
| Follow up (about 40 minutes) | €40 to €55 |
| Home visit | About €10 to €15 on top of the clinic price |
| Package (initial plus two follow ups) | About €125 |
| Food intolerance test (where offered) | About €150 |
Two things move the price. Complexity: a clinical condition such as diabetes or an eating disorder takes longer to assess than general weight management. Format: online consultations are usually a few euro cheaper than the clinic, home visits cost more. Some practitioners publish no prices at all and quote on enquiry, that is common in Malta and not a warning sign.
How to choose a nutritionist or dietitian in Malta
Both "dietitian" and "nutritionist" are regulated titles in Malta, so the practitioner must be registered with the Council for the Professions Complementary to Medicine (CPCM). The two registers are separate. A dietitian is trained to treat medical conditions with diet and can work alongside your doctor, a nutritionist works on healthy eating, weight and performance. If you have a diagnosed condition, a dietitian is usually the right fit. A "nutrition coach" or "wellness advisor" holds neither registration.
Ask three things before booking: which register they are on, whether they will work from your blood test results (bring recent ones), and what a plan looks like after the first session. A good plan is specific to your shopping and cooking habits, not a printed diet sheet.
Common mistakes to avoid: booking a single session and expecting a lasting result (the follow ups are where the changes stick), buying a supplement protocol from someone who also sells the supplements, and choosing a food intolerance test before a dietitian has looked at the symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist in Malta?
Both are registered with the CPCM but on different registers. A dietitian has clinical training and treats medical conditions through diet, often with a doctor's referral. A nutritionist works on general healthy eating, weight and sports performance. For a diagnosed condition, start with a dietitian.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book a private dietitian or nutritionist directly. A referral helps if you want the practitioner to coordinate with your doctor or if your health insurance requires one for a claim.
Is there a free nutrition service in Malta?
The public Primary HealthCare service runs nutrition clinics through health centres, ask your GP or health centre about access. Private practice is the faster route and lets you choose the practitioner.
Can I do nutrition consultations online?
Yes. Most practitioners listed here offer video consultations at the same or a slightly lower price than the clinic. Weighing and body measurements are then done at home with your own scales, which is fine for most weight and general nutrition work.
