How To Eat If You Are Training for a Marathon
The way you nourish your body is equally important as your training and strength exercises. As a sports nutritionist based in NYC, I frequently encounter questions regarding dietary recommendations for individuals preparing for a marathon.
Delicious Recovery Smoothie Ideas for Athletes
These are great for after a workout because they contain the perfect balance of protein and carbohydrates. They also have plenty of antioxidants to help with tissue repair. Smoothies are a delicious and easy way to refuel and recover after a tough workout. Packed with protein, carbs, and antioxidants, these recovery smoothie ideas are perfect for athletes looking to optimize performance and recovery.
Fuel Your Body: A Week of Nutritious Dinners for Athletes
As an athlete, what you eat is crucial to fueling your body and providing the necessary nutrients to support your training and competition. However, it can be challenging to come up with new and healthy meal ideas each week. That’s why I’ve put together a list of weekly dinners that are perfect for athletes!
Easy LUNCH ideas for athletes
Lunchtime is an opportunity to replenish nutrients from your morning workout or prepare your body for an evening workout. Plan out lunches to ensure you have a variety of foods in your home to prepare meals.
Best Nutrition Bars for Athletes
I always recommend a food first approach but sometimes fresh food isn’t always available. Athletes have high energy demands, and in order to maintain a positive energy balance, athletes need to eat throughout the day.
Hydrating in heat and humidity
Dehydration increases an athlete’s perceived effort and reduces the ability to continue exercising at a high level. Sweat is the body’s built-in cooling system that enables the body to make more energy.
