About this listen
What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health and on our performance in our chosen sport, whether we’re elite-level athletes or enthusiastic amateurs. But with so much information out there, how do we choose a way of eating that is right for us?
More Fuel You is a clear and authoritative guide to making the most of your nutrition. Leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor looks at fueling needs for sporting participation, training, and competition and analyses some popular diet options, including low-carbohydrate, vegan, and intermittent fasting.
But this is not just another sports-nutrition book. Renee recommends a holistic view: by understanding the human body and being self-aware, you can find the ideal nutritional approach for you personally. Significantly, Renee also discusses areas of sports nutrition in populations that are often overlooked, including women’s health and menopause, healthy aging, and the inclusion of individuals who don’t necessarily conform to the stereotype of an athlete, such as people living with chronic health conditions.
Whatever your race, genetics, gender, age, socioeconomic status, body type, or ability, it’s important to be your own athlete, fuel appropriately for your body, and enjoy what you do.
Whether you’re a world-class or real-world athlete, if you’re serious about sport and nutrition, you can’t afford not to listen to this book.

So informative

Finally a book which acknowledges its more complex than calories in vs calories out. A book which finally suggests to ask yourself how you’re feeling instead of what your gamin suggests too
A good listen thanks

It is hard to keep track of the details, especially when Renee lists the grams of protein per kilo of body mass, for example, but when she starts to list ideal recovery foods, my mouth began to water. She doesn't spend all her time focussing on gels, recovery drinks, or chews, but actual food, which is great for those of us who don't want to use artificial stuff most of the time.
Renee also has a focus on other groups, not just males in their 20-30s, but women, 'masters' (older athletes) women in their 40s+ and this is so helpful for those of us that Sports Science studies don't usually focus on!
As a sports massage therapist, ultra runner, and woman 40+, it was really helpful, but I will recommend it to lots of my clients looking for a more thorough, science-based introduction than just an article in a running mag.
The author reads it, which is usually hit and miss, but Renee reads it well, and it's good to hear the person behind the science. She reads quotes from her clients too, which turn out to be 'Jasmine', 'Sabrina' and 'Holly', huge names in the running world, what a pleasure to hear their stories too.
Really helpful overview
