Consult a Sports Dietitian

By:Alex M. McDonald, MD
You are what you eat. As an athlete, the food and fuel that you put into your body plays a huge role in your ability to perform at your best during competition, both immediately and in the long term. A dietitian who is trained in sports nutrition can examine your diet, help identify those areas that can be improved, and make suggestions tailored to your unique athletic needs. This can help you take your game “to the next level.” Look for the credentials RD and CSSD, and visit www.scandpg.org to locate a sports dietitian near you.
