About this course

Sports nutrition is not about eating less or more — it is about eating right for the demands you place on your body. This course translates current sport science into practical fuelling strategies you can apply immediately, whether you train three times a week or twice a day. You will leave with a structured nutrient-timing framework, a personalised pre- and post-workout meal plan template, and a clear-eyed view of which supplements have genuine evidence behind them.
