Performance Fueling Plan Workbook for Athletes

Hey RDs! Do you work with athletes? Are you always getting questions about how to create a fueling plan, but don’t know where to start?

This workbook can help! It provides non-diet, basic sports nutrition education for athletes about fueling for performance. Information is provided from an ED- (eating disorder) informed perspective, and does not include moralizing references to food as “clean,” or “healthy,” and uses the inclusion of all foods (yes, even treats!) in daily performance plate planning.

The workbook contains simple, easy to understand information on performance plate components, along with sample worksheet pages for creating a personalized fueling plan.

Worksheets included

• components of performance plates
• building performance snacks
• building “mini-meal” snacks
• performance plates for moderate training days
• performance plates for hard training / competition
• post-training recovery checklist
• personalized fueling timeline
• competition day fueling timeline

Information pages include

• FAQs (“When do I eat what?” “What about snacks?” “What about rest days?”
• hydration info page
• example fueling timelines for AM, PM, or double training sessions
• competition nutrition general guidelines

(The competition day fueling timeline is one of my clients’ favorite tools!  It helps them plan for those tricky competition start times, like 1pm or 9pm!).

I’m sure you will find this resource to be invaluable in your practice!
