Hey there, I'm Alex. I'm a dietitian, mom, triathlete here to support and guide athletes - of all levels - to fuel for their best body and performance.

Fasted workouts aren’t a fat-burning hack.

They’re a “why am I so tired, cranky and slow?” hack.

Fuel the workouts well, and let’s work on the body composition strategically through your everyday meals and snacks.

This is the way.

And this is exactly what my team and I help with in my 1:1 nutrition coaching program.

Comment SERVICES and I’ll send you all the details on the program!

Jumping on this fun trend… 😂

PSA: Nutrition is not a group project where the loudest guy wins.

Practical fueling > fear-based advice
Evidence > ego.
Always.

You deserve clarity, not cherry-picked headlines.

Follow for the realistic fueling advice you deserve.

Z2 effort still requires fuel.

For workouts that are 2-3+ hours long at Z2 effort, this should be 60g carbs/hour at minimum.

Z2 effort, is still an effort.

Underfueling is going to lead to…

- fatigue towards the end of the workout
- poor recovery
- epic hunger and tiredness later in the day.

Plus, it’s a great time to practice gut tolerance while fueling longer workouts.

Embrace the carbs, my friend!

True story. 😂 The ALN dietitian group chat is busy when the big races are streaming, we nerd out hard on the nutrition stuff.

Also, make sure to fuel with what works best for you. Not the pros. 🫶🏼

Listen….. we are extraordinary.

You’re training most days of the week.
You voluntarily wake up early to sweat.
You continue to sign up for races even though they are brutally hard.

Of course your eating will look different. It’s elite biology in action!

Do people comment on your eating? If you’re in need of some snarky retorts, I’m happy to help!

1 roll = 15 grams of heavenly carbs.

I love snacking on these all day long to help me hit my pre-race carb loading targets

Carb loading is not about eating everything in sight. It’s about eating foods that are high in carbs (and low in fat and fiber).

And these Hawaiian rolls hit the mark!

Make sure you’re following along as I share more of my favorite carb-loading foods to help you rock your next race!

(Not sponsored, but happy to partner with in the future)

A runner messaged me recently and said,
“I’ve had two nutritionists tell me that I could be either fat & fueled… or skinny & tired.”

I need you to hear me: Those are not the only two options.

Here’s the truth:
Your strongest, fastest, most resilient self comes from being well-fueled. Not depleted. Not shrinking. Not running on fumes.

And that doesn’t need to include you gaining weight.

My dietitian team and I help endurance athletes week after week learn how to fuel for performance while also improving body composition.

It's crazy how a broken foot led to allllll this.

🚀 Want stronger muscles and faster recovery? Protein can play a huge role, but let's get more strategic with our protein sources. ⁠
⁠
Leucine is the MVP amino acid as it acts as the trigger button for muscle repair and growth. ⁠
⁠
Think: eggs 🍳, beef 🥩, dairy 🧀, soy 🫘, and whey protein powders 💪⁠
⁠
If you’ve been training hard and want to see that lean muscle growth, this can be a key piece to the protein puzzle. ⁠
⁠
🎧 Listen to episode #34 of the Endurance Eats podcast to learn more about how much protein you need and how to get it.⁠
