This trend but make it pre and post workout fueling with a sports dietitian 💁🏻‍♀️

Even though this was a short sim with only one 1000m run, I’m still always fueling with carbs before and refueling and recovering with carbs, protein and color after. No “train low” or arbitrary “30g protein pre-workout” recs here.

I LOVE that fiber is still trending. As a sports dietitian, I also know that most dieters take a trend, go ALL in and then go back to what they used to do. Gradual can be hard if it’s not part of the plan, so make a plan for your slow increase in fiber intake and go for it!

While general recs are a minimum of 25g per day for women and 38g per day for men, you may need more if you have a high activity level… I’m looking at you endurance and hybrid athletes. You need 14 grams for every 1000 calories consumed.

[ad] Whether I’m traveling for work or for fun, I want to feel my best. That means fiber, protein and antioxidants are just as important to me as when I’m cruising through my routine at home. As a performance dietitian, I find that when people put in the effort, they can nail it with protein. But, awareness of the importance of fiber and where to get enough of it are still lacking – and traveling only complicates this.

Options like delicious prunes from are super convenient and fit seamlessly into your day to help meet fiber needs. With 3g of fiber per 5-6 prune serving, they’re easy to add to any meal or snack to assist with consistent energy levels, satiety, and digestive support. Plus, they count towards your daily fruit consumption, support your body with antioxidants and even benefit bone health!

Grab this feel good fruit on your next grocery run to help you and your active family feel and perform your best.

My brain: ”The latest I can get to MCO, minus 90 min drive from Vero = .75 miles to the end of the boardwalk at 8:15 pace, 4 minute beach walk, .75 miles back”.

Everyday feels more energizing and food is more satisfying when you have enough protein and fiber. So even when you’re traveling, find ways to get them in! Divide this crunchy, salty, sweet trail mix into 12 servings and you’ll get 11+g of protein and 5g of fiber.

So unbelievably grateful for my career opportunities and to both learn and experience life with colleagues that are truly great friends. Thank you to the Ginger Network and all of the wonderful sponsors that made this year’s possible! Excited to incorporate what was presented into my work - and stay tuned for the two things I’m going to start working on for myself as a result of what I learned. For now I’m crashing on the couch with my boys!

I may be a performance RD, but every once in a while I get a bunch of questions about heart health in a week… because being active doesn’t keep you from having high cholesterol, triglycerides or blood pressure. Especially if you’re in your 30’s, 40’s and beyond, lifestyle factors really start to show off, regardless of your weight or fitness. That’s not to say exercise isn’t protective. It is, but in addition to lifestyle, genetics factors play more of a role as we age, too, and can’t be ignored.

Get bloodwork at least annually to monitor trends, acknowledge your family history, and get more plants 🌱 on your plate. Bonus if you don’t listen to influencers with a carnivore agenda who misinterpret research and cherry pick bad data to support their bias.

When I need a little extra help focusing, I add some L-theanine to my coffee! Fun fact: it’s naturally found with caffeine in tea, but I’m a coffee drinker and I like to be aware of the dose mimicking the data so here we are.

L-theanine alone = increased mental acuity, relaxation and enhanced sleep.
L-theanine + caffeine = enhanced cognition and alertness, relaxation w/out drowsiness, reduced blood pressure responses to stressful tasks.

Don’t love coffee? Green tea has about 25mg per cup while matcha may have up to 5x more.

Of note, the NOW supplement I have has 285mg per 1/8 tsp serving. I use a little less than that with 2 shots worth of espresso.

As always, touch base with *your* dietitian or physician before adding a new supplement. They know your health history and needs best.

Whether chronic stress or acute, lack of adequate and consistent nutrition can further impact your mood in the short and long term. As a dietitian, there’s 2 common ways I see this play out for people - lack of appetite or craving “comfort” foods.

Just because you hear “eat when you’re hungry”, that doesn’t mean eat nothing when dealing with obvious appetite suppression! It’s practical to eat to support your physical and mental energy levels, digestion and gut health, and prevent quick swings in the opposite direction for appetite.

Emotional eating gets a lot of criticism, but believe me when I say it’s okay to find joy in food! The difference is using food as a main coping mechanism for stress and overeating comfort foods often VS eating foods that bring you joy mindfully and in a way that fuels your health me mood for more than a few minutes.

Save these tips and apply them when you need them. Athlete or highly active? The appetite tips hold true for post exercise appetite suppression and appetite suppression in the heat!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a viral recipe on my feed so much. So story time: as a kid I loved cheesecake so much I’d have it as my birthday cake. I also grew up with horrible asthma though and didn’t learn til I was an adult that I have a dairy allergy that exacerbates it. While I’ve had cashew cheesecake at a few nice vegan restaurants over the years, this actually gave me more nostalgia.

For dairy free, I grabbed Kitehill cause I was at Whole Foods - if I was home at our closest grocery store would have gotten Silk Greek. The Sweet Lorens breakfast cookies were perfect, but think I want to try graham crackers next time!

Certain things to expect as the friend of a performance dietitian. One clear benefit of being my friend is I’ll always answer when you text me saying “can I ask you a nutrition question…”
