What to Eat at the Crag for Optimal Climbing Performance

What to Eat at the Crag for Optimal Climbing Performance

In this episode, I talk all about what to eat at the crag and the couple days before going to the crag so that you can have all-day energy and climb hard.

I know it's tempting to just not eat all day at the crag so you can feel "light" and climb hard, but the truth is that we need food at regular intervals every day, especially when we're trying to perform athletically at a high level.

So I'll tell you what foods to pack in with you, what kinds of nutrients to focus on, and how to structure your day so it feels doable to get all the food you need. Not only will this help your performance on that day, but it'll also help you recover better so you don't feel like you got hit by a truck the next day.

This is a recording taken from a 5-day nutrition challenge I did in 2020 in front of a live zoom audience. I talked for about 15 minutes on the topic and then took a bunch of questions from the audience (very common questions, so they're quite relevant).

A Little about Me

After completing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Zoology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, I did a 4-year nutrition certificate program at Seven Bowls School of Nutrition, Nourishment, and Healing. I graduated in 2007 as a Certified Integrative Clinical Nutrition Therapist.

During those 4 years, I learned about not only nutrition, but herbs, homeopathy, and other alternative practices. I've been seeing clients since 2007 and I've worked exclusively with climbers since 2013.

If you're looking for help with your own nutrition and you feel like you need personalized coaching, I'm taking new clients right now. I also have a program that is self-paced with 4+ hours of video from me, PDF's, and meal plans laid out for you.
