    Frequently Asked Questions

    Nutrition is important to athletes because it provides thesource of energy needed to perform activities. The food we eat affects our strength, training, performance and recovery. Not only is the type of food important to sports nutrition, but the time we eat throughout the day can also affect our performance levels and the body's ability to recover from exercise.

    Pre- and post-workout meals are important in sports nutrition, but you should be very careful about what you eat. In general, athletes should eat about two hours before training, and this meal should be high in carbohydrates, low in fat, and low in protein. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy to fuel your exercise program, and protein is needed to support muscle growth and repair. After a workout, you need to replace lost carbohydrates, and you need to ensure adequate muscle recovery by including protein in your post-workout meals.

    A day in the life of a sports nutritionist is varied and involves different tasks. These include:

    • Providing nutritional education and services to athletes
    • Consulting with athletes to help them develop optimal eating habits.
    • Design menus,
