What can you expect to cover in a sports nutrition consultation?

Sports nutrition differs from lifestyle nutrition as we are looking to optimise your athletic performance, recovery and meal timing. Your sports nutritionist will calculate your specific energy needs based off your gender, weight, height, activity levels and training schedule. From here, adjustments will be made to help the athlete achieve their desires body composition goals too. (eg fat loss, muscle gain or body recomposition (aka a combination of both fat loss and muscle growth).

How can a sports nutrition consultation help me?

If you struggle to feel energised throughout your training, you could potentially be under fuelling. Ensuring you are eating adequate amounts of energy is crucial. Furthermore, including the correct amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats will aid in the pursuit of your fitness goals. A sports nutritionist will also help you optimise your pre- and post-workout nutrition. Together, we will work to minimise gut discomfort throughout training, optimise energy levels and prioritise your recovery meals.

If you struggle to eat enough to meet your muscle gain goals, we can work together and find strategies that work for you. By increasing your energy intake and including the right ratio of macronutrients to put you in the best possible position to grow muscle.

If you struggle to lose body fat and manage your hunger levels, we can work together to create a meal plan that meets your energy needs for your fat loss goals in a healthy way without excessive restriction.

No matter what your sports nutrition goals are, together we’ll develop a sustainable plan for you to meet your health and fitness goals without having to think about food 24/7.
