Ep. 4 Sports Nutrition with Olympic Dietitian Megan Chacosky.

In this episode of Race Ready, we’re joined by Megan Chacosky, sports dietitian and performance chef at Craftsbury Outdoor Center and longtime collaborator with the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team. Megan shares her journey from pastry chef to Olympic performance nutrition expert and breaks down practical fueling strategies for endurance athletes. From recovery meals to on-the-go snacks, she explains how elite athletes can use food as a powerful tool to support training, recovery, and long-term performance.

We explore key topics in sports nutrition, including what to eat before and after workouts, how to structure meals during high-volume training camps, and how to adjust fueling plans for masters athletes. Megan explains why carbs are crucial, debunks common recovery myths, and shares budget-friendly tips for athletes shopping and cooking on their own. If you're a coach, skier, or parent supporting a competitive athlete, you'll learn how to build a nutrition plan that meets performance demands without overcomplicating it.

The episode also dives into RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), the role of supplements like caffeine and sodium bicarbonate, and the dangers of under-fueling—especially for developing athletes. With a blend of expert insights and real-world examples from World Cup and Olympic-level competition, Megan delivers high-performance nutrition advice that every endurance athlete should hear. Whether you're preparing for a 50K ski race or just looking to improve your daily energy and recovery, this is a must-listen episode on fueling for success.
