General health, as well as training and competing as an athlete, is a 24 hour decision making process. The workouts truly become a small component of the day; if you train for 2 hours of a day, you are recovering for 22 hours. Therefore, one must place emphasis on, sleeping, eating, and your daily posture/ activities. Nutrition plays a significant role in either enhancing or undermining personal fitness goals… The Sustainable Athlete wants to be sure your choices contribute to the former.
Proper nutrition needs to address the following:
- Caloric, macro-, and micro- nutrient consumption to support the demands of your current training and racing; periodizing nutrition along with training
- Modifying current nutrition choices to further improve body composition and sport performance.
- Differentiate between “nutrition” and “sports nutrition”.
- Plan and calculate the timing of intake in conjunction with workouts.
- Identifying the differences between biological, habitual, and emotional hunger/ eating.
Nutrition Consultation: Cost — $60.00/ Hour
Nutrition can be one of the most confusing topics to the general public as fad diets abound and today’s “miracle food” is tomorrow’s carcinogen. Let Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Coach, Robin Brown, dispel any nutrition myths and aid in aligning nutrition choices with long-term goals. The hourly consult is a great way to have general questions answered, discuss the importance of meal timing, and/or discuss pre-race and raceday nutrition protocol.

Nutrition Analysis: Cost — $100
The only way to truly provide insight towards one’s nutrition choices is with accurate and honest feedback on consumption. The Nutrition Analysis begins with a 3-day food log. Each person will be carefully instructed on entering 3 days worth of intake. The data will then be analyzed to determine daily caloric intake and breakdown of macro-(Protein, Carbs, and Fat) and micro-(Vitamins and Minerals) nutrients. You will receive a written analysis combined with recommendations to better support your current training cycle and goals. The analysis will conclude with a 45 min. phone consult to further explain the results and recommendations as well as answer questions. Contact Robin Brown, robin@thesustainableathlete.com with questions and for setup.
