Our Favourite Sports Nutrition Products

Our Favourite Sports Nutrition Products

When it comes to sports nutrition products, there are a million products and there's always something new promising to boost performance, enhance recovery, or just make training that little bit easier. With the sheer volume of options, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why I’m sitting down with some Triathlon Nutrition Academy members, athletes just like you, and asking them about their favourite products. To provide these insights, we are joined by Christine from Fort Myers, Florida, Tony Hampton from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Steve Duquette from Ontario, Canada. Each has their preferences in sports nutrition, offering diverse perspectives to guide your choices.   Christine's Top Picks Christine highlighted AMACX gels as her recent favourite for their liquid consistency and high sodium content, ideal for athletes who sweat heavily. She also praises Scratch Labs for hydration, which has proven gentle on her stomach during intense sessions and has a great range of flavours. Finally, Christine shares that she struggles with texture, and dislikes thick gels. For anyone with similar issues, she recommends Precision Fuel and Hydration Flow gels.   Steve's Key Insights Steve shared how he transitioned from Hammer Gels, which he found too thick and difficult to digest, to Precision Fuel and Hydration gels, which are much gentler on his gut. He also appreciates Scratch Labs for its natural ingredients and flavour, particularly the lemon-lime variant. Steve encourages anyone experiencing discomfort with their current nutrition products, to not accept that and experiment to find something that suits you better. Every athlete’s digestion and tolerance vary, so it’s important to find what works for you personally.   Tony's Strategic Choices Things are more complicated for Tony who is a diabetic and has an allergy to Stevia. He appreciates Precision Fuel and Hydration for their straightforward and simple ingredients. Additionally, he trains with Morton products, which are commonly available at Ironman races, so that his body is used to them if he needs them.   Actionable Tips Know Your Preferences: Be it taste, consistency, or ingredients, it’s essential to enjoy your nutrition products. Why spend money on something you dislike when you can find effective, enjoyable options? Understand Nutritional Content: Educate yourself on what’s inside each product, be it carbohydrates, sodium, or other ingredients, and match them with your event’s demands and your personal health goals. Test in Race-Like Conditions: Validate your nutrition plan during high-intensity sessions to ensure reliable performance on race day. Consider factors like texture, packaging, and ease of consumption. Sample Before Commit: Many companies offer variety packs allowing you to try different products without committing to a full-sized container. This can be a cost-effective way to discover new favourites.   Remember, each athlete's nutritional needs are unique, shaped by their physical demands, preferences, and goals. There is no universal "best" product, but by staying informed and open to experimentation, you can discover what truly works for you!   Products mentioned: AMACX Gels: https://amacx.com/collections/energy-gels Scratch Hydration: https://www.skratchlabs.com/collections/drinks Gu Liquid Energy: https://www.guenergy.com.au/products/liquid-energy-gel Precision Fuel and Hydration Flow Gel: https://www.precisionhydration.com/au/en/products/pf-300-flow-gel/ Precision Fuel and Hydration Mix: https://www.precisionhydration.com/au/en/products/ph-1500-electrolyte-drink-mix/ Precision Fuel and Hydration Chews: https://www.precisionhydration.com/au/en/products/pf-30-chew/   LINKS: Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

Hall Of Fame Swimmer Turned Triathlete: Chad Rolfs on Training, Racing and Nutrition

Hall Of Fame Swimmer Turned Triathlete: Chad Rolfs on Training, Racing and Nutrition

When you think of an elite athlete, a Division One All-American swimmer might come to mind. But what if that same athlete also excelled in triathlons, coached others to success, and balanced a full-time job? Meet Chad Rolfs, an extraordinary athlete who joins me fresh off an incredible performance at the Washington 70.3, to share his passion, his journey, and his nutrition strategy.   Chad began his athletic journey as a distinguished swimmer. A Division One All-American swimmer in college, Chad was inducted into the Washington Interscholastic Aquatics Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He was known for events like the 50m Free, 200m Free, and 100m Backstroke, boasting impressive times such as a 21.15-second 50m Free back in 1989. After concluding his swimming career, Chad transitioned into coaching high school swimming for nine seasons. His passion for sports didn't wane, and in 2017, he ventured into triathlons. Fast forward to 2024 and Chad has just completed the Washington 70.3 with a 19-minute swim, a two-hour-and-42-minute bike, and a one-hour-and-48-minute run. These results are remarkable, especially considering swimming is often seen as his primary strength. Our conversation delved deeply into how nutrition played a pivotal role in his preparation and race-day performance. Here are the key points we touched on: Carbohydrate Loading: Chad admitted his initial attempts at carbohydrate loading left him feeling too full and uncomfortable. Through the Triathlon Nutrition Academy program, we’ve been working on fine-tuning his carb-loading strategy, ensuring he gets the energy needed without discomfort. Day-to-Day Nutrition: Chad then highlighted the impact his everyday nutrition habits have on his race day performance. Balancing macronutrients, understanding recovery meals, and adjusting intake based on training intensity are all crucial aspects that contribute to long-term success. Hydration: As part of the Triathlon Nutrition Academy, we worked on refining Chad’s hydration and fuelling plans, particularly for the run portion. Ensuring timing and mixture accuracy were pivotal steps that contributed to his recent race success. Building a Team: Chad also stressed the importance of building a support team of experts in various fields. From having a triathlon coach to working with nutrition and strength training experts, he believes in treating oneself like an elite athlete to achieve the best results. "Who doesn’t want the best outcome possible?" he said. Lifelong Learning: Chad is a learner at heart. His dedication to continually improving his knowledge and incorporating new strategies is a key factor in his success.  With the triathlon season concluding, Chad is focused on strength and mobility training. He plans to participate in a half marathon soon but is also setting his sights further. His ultimate ambitions include races like Kona, 70.3 Worlds, and possibly even Ultraman events. I’m immensely proud of Chad’s progress and eager to see what the future holds for him. For those of you who aren’t sure if you should invest in your nutrition, let Chad’s story be a testament to the difference it can make. If you’re looking to take your performance to the next level, consider joining us in the Triathlon Nutrition Academy. Our doors are open until the 5th of October, with the next cohort starting soon.

The nutrition changes that are helping Troy Bauerle see massive success, fast!

The nutrition changes that are helping Troy Bauerle see massive success, fast!

As a sports dietician, I’m always thrilled to witness the remarkable transformations of athletes who discover the true potential of tailored nutrition. Today, I'm excited to share the incredible journey of Troy Bauerle, a triathlete from Echuca, Victoria, who improved his performance (practically) overnight by overhauling his nutrition. He’s fresh off a fantastic race performance at the Long Course Worlds in Townsville. Despite a major injury that prevented proper run training, Troy still completed the course in under six and a half hours. He’s an absolute weapon! Troy admits he was clueless about nutrition when he first started. He had no idea about the importance of carbohydrates or proteins or how essential it was to plan his meals around his training. Like many athletes, he thought sheer willpower and effort were enough for peak performance. However, this couldn’t have been further from the truth. Troy's major turning point was when he stumbled upon one of my podcasts. Realising the gaps in his knowledge, Troy took the plunge and decided to educate himself through the TNA program. He hasn’t been with us long but he’s already seeing big results from the changes he’s making. The first steps Troy took involved understanding when and what to eat. Initially, he was clueless about labels on food packaging. Now, he's far more confident, knowing exactly what his body needs, especially post-training. He no longer wastes hours of training due to improper nutritional recovery. Organisation was Troy’s biggest hurdle, given his busy schedule. Now, with a bit of planning, he prepares for his big training days in advance. This has resulted in less wasted time and a focused approach to his diet, making every meal purposeful. One of the most noticeable improvements for Troy has been his energy levels. He used to think it was normal to be utterly exhausted after long training sessions, but proper nutrition has shown him how different things can be. Instead of collapsing on the couch after his workouts, he’s experiencing a “snowball effect” where improved nutrition leads to better training sessions, which in turn results in less fatigue and better overall performance.   Carbohydrate Loading: A Turning Point Before the Long Course Worlds, I helped Troy with his carbohydrate loading plan. It was gratifying to see how this preparation translated to his race performance. Typically, carbohydrate loading isn’t covered until phase two of our programme, but I provided Troy with tailored advice for his immediate needs. The impact was astounding. During his practice runs and the actual event, he felt more energised, performed significantly better, and avoided the feeling of death he’d come to think was normal   Troy is now not only performing better but also feeling better. He’s found a way to balance his demanding job as a plumber with his intense training schedule, all thanks to better nutritional planning.  Looking ahead, he’s planning to race in the Western Sydney 70.3 Triathlon and aiming for the Olympic distance Worlds in Wollongong next year. Longer-term, he has his sights set on completing an Ironman by his 50th birthday.   I’ve loved working with Troy and seeing him come so far in such a short time. For those of you on the fence about investing time in nutrition education, take Troy’s experience to heart. Proper nutrition can elevate your performance, prolong your career in the sport, and most importantly, enhance your quality of life.

Sunshine Coast 70.3 Race Report

Sunshine Coast 70.3 Race Report

The Sunshine Coast 70.3 race has always been an event to look forward to, but this year, it took on a special meaning as it became the first TNA event. We had people fly in from all over the world and they’re sitting down with me today for a post-race recap. For this discussion I’m joined by Kelly (who made the journey from Idaho Falls, USA),  Steve (who travelled from a tiny town near Ontario, Canada),  Lyn (from Adelaide), and Mokka (from New South Wales). It was fantastic to finally meet in person those we had only seen virtually for years. Steve won the award for the furthest distance travelled, covering a whopping 14,912 kilometres! It’s no secret that proper race preparation often involves spending a lot of time alone, maintaining optimal nutrition, and resting. However, our excitement to be together meant we were constantly socialising. While it wasn’t ideal for race prep, it was too enjoyable to resist. Stephen, for instance, had to remind himself to step away from the coffee shops and retreat to the cool of his hotel room occasionally. Despite the not-so-ideal prep, we all made it to race day excited and raring to go. I was particularly inspired by how everyone embraced the challenges, especially the ocean swim, which was far rougher than expected.  Stephen found himself drifting off course due to the blinding sun, while Kelly struggled with motion sickness. But we all pushed through, with some friendly ribbing and camaraderie aiding our perseverance. Everyone did fantastically in the end! Lisa achieved a massive 19-minute Personal Best (PB), Paul clocked an astonishing 15-minute PB, and his final time was 4:44:44 – an impressive feat! Stephen shaved over an hour from his previous best to finish in 5:57, a monumental achievement. Our relay team also smashed it! Leanne took the swim leg, I took the bike, and Chris handled the run. Despite her tough pre-race build-up, Leanne clocked in at an impressive 2:55 for the bike, including a minor penalty for drafting. Chris nailed the run course in just about 2 hours, earning our team an unexpected trip to the podium! Looking back, the race was an unforgettable experience filled with high spirits and personal triumphs.  Lyn was happy to share that her nutrition and hydration strategies paid off and she avoided the leg cramping that plagued previous races.  Speaking of hydration, we made significant strides with both Kelly, who normally struggles with frequent bathroom stops, and Stephen, who usually battles dehydration.   Next year’s Sunshine Coast 70.3 is set for September 14th, 2025, and we’re committed to returning with an even bigger team. If you’d like to join us, sign up to the TNA program, join our team, and experience the magic yourself. For now, keep training hard, stay healthy, and remember, nutrition is the key to unlocking your best race yet!   LINKS: Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

Meredith's long game preparation for Ironman World Championship Nice

Meredith's long game preparation for Ironman World Championship Nice

How does one go from never planning to run to conquering the Ironman World Championship? Join us as Meredith McKenzie shares her incredible journey and the pivotal role of nutrition in her success. Meredith's passion for triathlon started unexpectedly during a difficult period in her personal life. She joined a biking group for the emotional outlet it provided and found it meditative. Her friends encouraged her to participate in the Lava Man triathlon in Hawaii, an Olympic-length event. Despite initial resistance and never having run before, she eventually gave in to their persuasion, attempting her first triathlon. From there, it wasn’t long before Meredith was signing up for more events, including 70.3 races and full-distance Ironman competitions.  Despite frequent headaches and low energy levels, Meredith thought she was doing alright with her diet. It wasn’t until she started the academy's program that she realised the importance of a well-structured nutritional plan, not just on race day, but every day. One of the first things she noticed was that she wasn't fueling her body adequately for her training sessions. Her appetite simply wasn’t matching her fueling needs, but she struggled with the idea of eating more food when she wasn’t hungry. However, strategic consumption, like including smoothies in her diet, helped her manage the volume without feeling overwhelmed. Meredith continues to learn and adapt her nutrition strategies. She listens to old sessions from the program and refines her approach, focusing on different aspects of nutrition as needed. The beauty of a year-long program is that it allows you to gradually build a solid foundation, making you adept at troubleshooting your own needs Now, with her sights set on the Ironman World Championship in Nice, Meredith has had to adapt her race nutrition plan once again. She’s discovered that what worked for a flat course like Ironman California doesn’t necessarily apply to a hilly course. This adaptability is crucial in triathlon, as each race presents unique challenges. Meredith switched from solid foods like sandwich stacks to gels and chews, which are easier to digest during demanding hill climbs. For those hesitant about investing time and money into a specialised nutrition program, Meredith has a clear message: the investment is worth it. Her only regret is not committing to a structured nutrition plan earlier. The TNA program offers a comprehensive understanding of day-to-day and race-day nutrition, empowering athletes to make better choices independently. If you're looking to refine your nutrition, remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint. From understanding the importance of daily nutrition to adapting your race day plans to fit the specific conditions, every small change adds up to significant improvements over time.   LINKS: Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

How to beat jet lag and maximise race performance

How to beat jet lag and maximise race performance

Jet lag can be a triathlete’s worst nightmare. We train for months to perform at our best but international travel leaves us feeling sluggish and out of sync on race day. What if there was a way to outsmart jet lag and step off the plane feeling sharp and race-ready? It might sound too good to be true but it’s not. I’ve just recorded a masterclass about beating jet lag for my TNA athletes and I want to share some of those hot tips with you too! So, what exactly is jet lag? It’s that horrible feeling you get when there's a mismatch between your body clock and the new time zone. It's a common issue when travelling overseas, particularly when crossing multiple time zones. Symptoms increase and adjustment times are longer the more time zones you cross. Living in Australia, where it often takes 24 hours on a plane to reach the other side of the world, we're well-acquainted with the feeling. Some common symptoms of jet lag include: Poor sleep Fatigue Gut discomfort When you're jet-lagged, your performance decreases, so we need to take precautions to limit its effect and give our body time to adjust to the new time zone before a race.   Tips to Beat Jet Lag Before Travel Minimise Sleep Debt: Don't head to the airport with a significant sleep debt. Avoid late-night partying or sleep deprivation under the mistaken belief that you'll sleep better on the plane; this is often not the case. Bank Sleep: Although you can't really "bank" sleep, try spending an extra 30 minutes in bed before your usual bedtime in the week leading up to your trip. Practice Good Sleep Hygiene: Aim for 7-9 hours of good quality sleep each night. Make your sleep environment as conducive as possible – cool, dark, quiet, and comfortable. During Travel Travel Hygiene: Continue the heightened hygiene standards we've adopted since COVID-19. Wear a mask, frequently use hand sanitiser, and try not to touch your face. Maintain Mobility: Get up and move around as often as you can. If possible, choose an aisle or exit row seat for easier access. Comfort: Use a neck pillow, eye mask, and earplugs to make yourself as comfortable as possible to sleep. Minimise Exposure to Blue Light: Avoid screens or use devices that emit a warm hue to limit blue light exposure, which can affect melatonin production. Hydration: The air conditioning on planes can be very drying, so make sure to drink plenty of water. Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol is one of the worst things you can consume while flying as it dehydrates you and disrupts sleep. After Travel Light Exposure and Exercise: Your adaptation plan should include timed light exposure and exercise depending on your destination’s time zone. This is crucial for resetting your body clock. No Napping: Avoid the temptation to nap during the day after arrival as it can disrupt your sleep schedule. If you must nap, keep it short and earlier in the day. Be careful with caffeine: It can be a useful tool to stay awake but should be used cautiously and not too close to bedtime. Maintain Sleep Hygiene: Continue practising good sleep habits such as keeping your room dark and cool, and following a consistent bedtime routine. Nutrition Synchronisation: Align your mealtimes with the destination’s time zone to help your gut’s internal clock adjust quickly.  So, the next time you’re getting ready to travel, remember these tips to beat jet lag and maximise your race performance. If you want more detailed tips and a personalised jet lag adaptation plan, consider joining our Triathlon Nutrition Academy program. Our final cohort for 2024 starts soon, and there’s no better time to get all the insights and strategies you'll need for peak performance.

What Leanne has learnt from 18 Ironmans!

What Leanne has learnt from 18 Ironmans!

Are you ready to delve into the mind of an incredible triathlete who's completed 18 Ironman races? Yes, you heard that right, eighteen! Leanne, an age-group athlete, has been tackling triathlons for a whopping 30 years. Not only that, but she balances this passion with raising three children and working full-time. Her experience is vast, her knowledge is deep, and today, she's ready to share her wisdom with us. One of Leanne’s biggest takeaways has been the importance of flexibility in training and nutrition. While we need to strive for consistency, life is unpredictable, and we need to adapt when things don’t go as planned. She advises you to do whatever you can rather than nothing at all. If you miss a session or have a bad week, don’t stress. Pick up where you left off and keep going. Something else that made a huge difference for Leanne was having a solid support system with people who share her passion. Whether its friends joining you for a training session or being a part of online groups, having a community can be a tremendous source of motivation and support. Like many athletes do, Leanne was “winging it” with nutrition for many years because she was reluctant to invest in professional guidance. She would often train on an empty stomach, unaware of the impact it had on her performance and recovery. When she joined the Triathlon Nutrition Academy, things made a dramatic improvement. Now, she doesn't just think about fuelling up on race day, but she meticulously plans her nutrition in the days leading up to and following her training sessions. Leanne’s 30-year triathlon journey is far from over, and neither is yours. Plan smart, train hard, and make the most of your nutrition to reach your full potential!   LINKS: Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.
