Hierarchy of nutritional needs for female athletes
Are you focusing on the right things when it comes to nutrition as a female athlete?
99% of the nutrition problems I see in female athletes can be solved by addressed the foundations of nutritional needs in the following order:
Energy availability
Macro and micronutrient (diet quality)
Timing of food around training (pre/during/post)
Adjusting nutrition to training intensity, duration
What that looks like on paper for you as an individual can look very different depending on your unique circumstances - including the training you do, work or family commitments and personal food preferences.
There isn't one perfect diet, but multiple ways that you can improve what you eat (when) to optimise your health, body composition and performance, and I love empowering women to be able to make smart choices that fuel their training well.
I designed the Cycling Nutrition Framework to work through these foundations to help you become aware of what you are currently doing with your food intake, identify the mismatch between your current intake and the nutrition needs, and start to fuel smartly in aligned with your training.
Because to avoid short-changing your training and performance, you need to fuel it appropriately!
The Cycling Nutrition Framework will teach you the skills you need to adapt your nutrition to your training demands, working your way up the pyramid so you see and feel progress sooner rather than later.
