Food for Sport

Wondering whether you need to see a dietitian? A personalised nutrition plan can help optimise your sports performance.

Jennifer can work with you to address:

• Understanding food groups and the role they play in your diet. Understanding how much and what sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats each athlete needs is vital for good nutrition.
• Preventing fatigue. Training schedules can be time consuming. Planning meals becomes vital in preventing fatigue and improving recovery
• Navigating the world of supplements. Are they needed? If yes, which ones to take and how much is needed.
• The importance of hydration. Fluid needs remain important both in the days leading up to an event and on game / race day itself. What types of hydration are best and what is the most efficient way to consume it.
• Race and game day nutrition. What foods should be consumed to improve performance results and when should these meals / snacks be consumed? If you are competing in multi day events, what foods will help you maintain your performance from beginning to end.
• Maintaining correct body composition for your sport and age. Individualized goal setting within this area is vital to ensure that overall health is maintained within the intensity of elite sport training.

At Wahroonga Dietitian, Jennifer loves to work with athletes to help them achieve the best results possible within the sport of their passion.
