Nutrition for Masters Athletes - resource

Well, never in a million, gazillion years would I ever imagine doing a podcast, let alone one with video!!! Super excited to be part of Rowing Chat(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HcMaGvtgDVA6NGZz1_rQA) and having the opportunity to talk about nutrition related topics. First episode airs soon, and the resource is below. Admittedly a bit vague (deliberately so). If you need more info please get in touch, or stay tuned for future podcasts to build the knowledge....

Summer and Why food plans don't always work.

Ooooowhee, summer is coming. How do I know this? No, it isn’t the fact that I need to mow the lawns more often. Nor is it the fact that the mornings are lighter, and the days are longer.

I was a performance nutritionist. My role was to ensure their health was not compromised, and provide nutrition strategies that facilitated training adaptations ...

Too much of a good thing?

I confess I had to google ‘clean eating’. Outrageous for a nutritionist I’m sure. When I think clean eating, I imagine a moment where somehow you have not spilt crumbs anywhere (no, I am not a messy eater, but some foods just travel), or when your toddler finally manages to put the food IN their mouth. I hear the term clean eating all the time, and I guessed it implied eating whole food with little to no preservatives, but thought I would double check, hence the google search....
