Electrolyte powders aren’t bad.
But they’re also not a daily requirement for everyone.
If you’re training long, hard, or in the heat, electrolytes can absolutely be helpful.
If you’re doing a normal workout, walking, lifting, or just trying to stay hydrated day to day, water + meals usually do the job just fine.
The problem isn’t electrolytes - it’s the idea that everyone needs them all the time.
Hydration needs depend on:
• your training style
• intensity and duration
• sweat rate
• environment
• medical history
And that’s where individualized nutrition actually matters.
If you’re unsure whether electrolyte powders make sense for your body and your routine, our dietitians can help you figure it out!
You can book an appointment with Bite for Bite Nutrition to get personalized guidance, and we’ll verify your insurance benefits before your visit so there are no surprises.
Because fueling shouldn’t feel confusing - or expensive.
