Cross-Coach Nutrition Visibility
Athletes who work with more than one coach (e.g., a strength coach plus a separate nutrition coach) can opt into letting non-owning coaches see their active nutrition plan and recent check-ins, read-only.
What It Does
By default, only the coach who owns a nutrition plan can see it. When the athlete enables cross-coach visibility, every other coach on the athlete’s roster gets a read-only view of:
- The active nutrition plan (macros, meals if any, day-type splits)
- Recent check-ins and macro logs
Non-owning coaches cannot edit the plan, change targets, or send a new plan. Editing remains the owner’s responsibility. Visibility is enforced at the database level via row-level security — there’s no client-side bypass.
Athlete: Turning It On
From the athlete app:
- Open Settings (
/client/settings)
- Find the Nutrition sharing toggle
- Switch it on to share with all current and future coaches; off to revoke
The toggle is all-or-nothing across coaches, not per-coach. Turning it off immediately removes visibility for every non-owning coach.
Coach: Reading a Cross-Coach Plan
When viewing an athlete you don’t own the nutrition plan for:
- The Nutrition tab on the athlete profile shows the active plan and recent check-ins if the athlete has opted in
- A “Read-only — owned by [coach name]” banner makes ownership clear
- Recent macro logs appear alongside targets so you can see adherence at a glance
- If the athlete hasn’t opted in (or has no plan), the tab shows an empty state explaining why
Who It’s For
Available to all coach plans (Basic, Pro, Expert) — visibility is athlete-controlled, not plan-gated. Use this when:
- An athlete has split coaching (one coach for training, another for nutrition)
- A head coach and an assistant share an athlete and need a shared view
- You’re consulting on an athlete’s training and want context on their fueling
The owning coach is always the one who created the active plan. If ownership needs to change (e.g., a hand-off), the new coach should create a fresh plan, which makes them the owner.
