at a glance
The approach
Sports nutrition position statements tailor carbohydrate to training load and suggest roughly 1.2–2.0 g of protein per kg of body weight a day for athletes. Easy days and hard days don't need the same plate.
Race-day food and drinks should be tested in training first — never something new on the day.
A few supplements have good evidence, many don't, and some are contaminated. Competitive athletes should choose batch-tested products and check anti-doping rules.
A line about what you'd like help with is plenty. You'll get available times and current fees before anything is booked.
Usually 45–60 minutes, online or in person in Mumbai. We go through your health, routine and goals.
Built around your food, your kitchen and your week — shared with you digitally.
Shorter check-ins (20–30 minutes) to review progress and fine-tune the plan.
Questions
Something small and easy to digest, such as a banana, toast or a few dates, 30–60 minutes before. Longer or harder sessions may need more. Practise it in training.
For long sessions — usually over 60–90 minutes — or heavy sweating, they can help. For shorter workouts, water and regular meals are usually enough.
Some carry a risk of contamination with banned substances. Choose third-party batch-tested products and check your federation's anti-doping rules before taking anything.
