Eat Suite

Chinue Fields is a knowledgable nutritionist. She has helped me in multiple ways since 2011. She’s been my personal/​food coach, personal chef, and helped me organize my kitchen and refrigerator.
The food she prepares is healthy and DELICIOUS, packed with nutrients and protein (even for a vegetarian). Her food has the approval of my, now (¹¹⁄₂₀₁₅), two-​year-​old son. She keeps coming up with new ideas to help her followers get out of their routines and bad habits.
She is an inspiring woman who helps other achieve their personal goals. She won’t do the work for you, but can help direct others in a caring, thoughtful, and constructive way.
I love Eat Suite! There is a blog that is very thought provoking and lots of wonderful recipes.
Thank you, Eat Suite!

Working with Chae and Eat Suite on food journaling, was one of the most valuable things I have done in terms of my journey and I am thrilled with the results. I am now happy and proud of how I eat. I crave healthy things all the time, I have learned how to get more creative in the kitchen, and I have learned how to order out. I have conquered my PMS, I have allowed myself cheats without guilt, I have started my own support group via FB, I work out 4 days a week every week, I am working on Personal Records, and I have gotten my hubby on board again. In addition I can see my waist line shrinking and my wrists getting slimmer, and from what I have heard my journey with Chae has inspired others and I have quite a few friends who have changed their eating habits and lost fat and gained health through all of my posts which related directly back to Eat Suite, and I recommend Chae regularly and have done so for the past year!

I cannot say enough about Chae. I started working with her on nutrition and exercise in October of 2011. At the time I was just under 300lbs and had no healthy habits. I thought it would be impossible to actually change anything about me. I went into a gym I heard about for a separate deal but ended up working with Chae. In total, with Chae’s complete support, I’ve lost almost 80lbs and I continue to transform myself more and more.
What Chae did for me was exactly what I needed. She helped me really understand what the effects of my diet and exercise habits play on my health.
She is the biggest support in my transition to a healthier life.
If you are wondering if she can help you, talk to her. If anything, she is a great listener.

Chae is a fabulous personal trainer and nutritionist. As a trainer, her specialty is the kind of workout where you think you’ve gotten off easy («Just some balance work? I“m not even breaking a sweat!»), but the next day you really feel the results. As a nutritionist, Chae has boundless patience and empathy. She had a gift for telling me what I needed to hear without ever sending me down a self-​blaming path. During the time that we worked together, Chae was also extremely generous with her time, encouraging me to share an online food diary which she always found time to look at and comment on. I also appreciate that Chae was willing to meet me where I was in my food journey. I’m just not ready to give up cheese and bread, for example, so although Chae is gung-​ho about Paleo, she was willing to work with me on the things I was willing to try, like cutting down on sugar and eating more veggies. I’ve learned a lot of healthy snacking skills and made sustainable diet changes that are slowly but surely showing results.

Chae was my trainer for a year; she is fabulous. Her style is incredibly motivating — she listens to the needs of her clients and pushes you to where you would like to be. Very personalized attention! She works with «the whole person» and gets to know you individually — also very motivating! Thank you, Chae, for all you do!!!

I have worked with Chae as a personal trainer and nutritionist. In the gym, she’s a beast and inspiration! Seriously, I want guns like her!
As a nutritionist, this was the first time in my life that I could talk about my struggles/​challenges with food/​eating healthy without being judged based on my body size. Chae’s personal experience is not only an inspiration, but it helps her guide her clients in a supportive way, even when we slip. Working with Chae has helped me be more confident in the kitchen and it has made it easy to enjoy my healthy meals.
Bottom line: give Chae a try, you won’t regret it! And check out her facebook and blog too!

I have had a awesome working relationship with Chae for a couple of years now. She started off as my personal trainer and has also helped me with nutrition. When we met I was at my heaviest after dealing with a life-​threatening illness and early menopause. I had no energy and felt horrible about the condition of my body. She NEVER made me feel as if I couldn’t accomplish my fitness and nutrition goals– always inquiring how I was doing, supporting me and being a task master when she thought it was necessary. which I needed. lol.
It turns out after she heard me complain about the constant problem of gas and painful bloating which I had been struggling with for many years, she suggested I was dealing with a food allergy. I never even considered this before and none of my doctors had suggested it either.
I THOUGHT I had been eating healthy, multi grain this, whole wheat that… she suggested I may have a problem with gluten. I had no idea what this meant but after her guidance and educating myself, I can say she was right on the money! I now live a gluten-​free life and my body is MUCH happier for it.
I love her creativity in the kitchen… her recipes inspire me and have helped me learn to love cooking way more than I ever thought possible. I am more creative myself now and am loving the results. I am in the best shape of my adult life now and nearly at my fitness goals and Chae can take credit for a good deal of it.
Thank you Chae!

I have worked with Chae as a personal trainer and nutritionist. She has been an invaluable resource, motivation and inspiration in my journey to better health.
I started out over a year and a half ago and I was really unhappy with my body and had very low self image. It was hard to work my way into new habits, but Chae was there to guide me along the way. I came to realize that the changes I was making were working and I found myself looking forward to working out and my taste in food changed dramatically.
Chae is fantastic to work with. She answers your questions, gives you information and resources, and I never felt judged or guilty for anything I did. Since she knows what it is like to be overweight herself, she can really relate to what you go through. I think that makes a huge difference. I like having someone who actually listens to me and cares.
From a nutrition point of view, Chae is also highly knowledgeable. She has tried many different ways of eating herself, and again, that experience makes the difference. She also researches everything thoroughly, so you can be assured that anything she suggests will truly help you. I have been to cooking demos and her creativity and passion for cooking is outstanding. She loves the kitchen and sharing good clean food with everyone.
Chae has helped me to transform my body into something I am very proud of. So if you are not happy with yourself, stop waiting and call her! I know you will be glad you did!

Chae is AMAZING. I’ve never met any trainers/​nutritionists that truly empathize with the struggle of being overweight. During our first conversation I realized that she got it! I am currently working with Chae towards my goal of starting my marriage off on a healthier path and looking grand on my wedding day. After two weeks of following her guidelines, I’d completely cut out gluten and dairy and lost 12 pounds, this was before our first training session. Her methods WORK. Our first training session was tough, really tough, but I felt so good afterwards for having given it my all. Being a student, employed full time and planning a wedding I have very little free time, Chae has been great at communicating with me via phone, skype and email, she also helped me maximize my gym time, so I can get in and out in 30 minutes. Her positive, yet realistic and optimistic ‘can do’ approach is infectious and inspiring and her commitment to my success keeps me motivated and accountable for my diet and exercise choices. Chae is amazing and a pleasure to work with.

I am new to working with Chae and so far I am amazed with the things I have learned from her. I was diagnosed with Celiac and have not bought groceries for over a year because I had no clue as to what Gluten really was and what was bad/​good for me to eat so I just did not eat much. With all my other health issue I have decided to go see Chae for her help with getting me to eat healthy and know what to buy at the store. I can honestly say that because of her I am more confident in grocery shopping and knowing what to stay away from and how to cook my meals properly. I have also learned to try foods that I have never ever tried before I seen her. I plan on keeping her as my Nutritionist for as long as I can and I am very grateful for her knowledge and positive attitude to help you get to where you need to be in your life. *Gratitude*

Chae was my personal trainer and she kicked my butt! She really knows her stuff about nutrition and fitness. One of my downfalls when it comes to working out is comfort but Chae always made me feel comfortable and made me feel like I could do whatever it is I needed to do. She is really great to work with and can personalize your plan to fit your lifestyle needs. I would definitely recommend her for both personal fitness and nutritional needs.

Just a caveat about the 4 star rating – it could easily be a 5 star rating. I’ve worked with Chae on a limited basis due to my own scheduling and funding availability, and she is one of the only nutritionists I’ve worked with personally, so I am basing this review on that experience.
My favorite aspects of Chae as a nutritionist on an individual level is that she is personable, friendly, warm, shows a lot of interest in your health and eating habits, and her curious nature makes for an inviting and non-​judgmental work relationship as she helps you figure out your motivations and goals toward eating better.
I have a geeky nature and this boded well with Chae as she was more than happy to share books as well as referring me to films and websites to further my own education and understanding of the complex web of food that, at first, seems to be catered to our every desire and need, but soon learned the self serving and detrimental aspects of the food industry. To this end, Chae is very knowledgeable about nutrition and is always learning more and more about this aspect of her work as well as innovating ways to make food taste better with creative and easy to follow recipes and it allowed me to feel confident in the kitchen as I was not raised with a lot of cooking knowledge.
Overall, I am left with a sense of agency with my newfound knowledge, a support person I could call on and rely on for one-​on-​one tracking and feedback, and, most importantly, someone who is such an advocate for your health and well being that she will be honest and direct with you about your thinking, food choices, and questions.
Lastly, even when I did «slip» she was supportive unconditionally and seems to understand very well how much patience and compassion can do to support each person’s change in eating habits, relationship to food, knowledge of food choices and options, and how difficult it can be to change the habits that are tied to our emotions, mental states, body, and spirit.
I wholeheartedly recommend Chae as a nutritionist!!!
