WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH A DIETITIAN AS A VEGAN ATHLETE:

A well planned vegan diet can meet all your essential macro and micronutrients needs. However, athletes engaging in a high level of exercise must be equipped with the knowledge of how to eat and cook a well planned vegan diet. This will help to prevent nutritional deficiencies, fuel their nutrition around exercise and optimise recovery.

Important nutrients to address on a vegan diet include:

Protein
Iron
Zinc
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D
Calcium
Leucine
Omega-3s including ALA, EPA and DHA
Iodine

A plant-based sports nutritionist can work with you to develop an individualised nutrition plan to meet your nutrition needs and achieve your performance goals.

Frequently asked questions:

What is involved in a consultation?

Your first consultation will involve a full health & dietary assessment. We will decide on our over-arching goals for improving performance, recovery, and body composition and identify the key issues with your current diet and recovery plan.

The initial consultation is also where we gather all of the data and information required to formulate your meal plan & supplementation guide!

During review appointments, we will discuss how you are going with your plan, further optimize the plan to your needs, and adjust calories, macros, and food accordingly. These check-ins are also an opportunity for nutrition education so that you know exactly why changes are being made to your diet. This ensures that after our time working together, you can confidently make decisions regarding your diet and overall nutrition.

How frequently should we check in with the dietitian?

Everyone is a little different with how often they need to check in with their dietitian. Typically, fortnightly works best for most people particularly when we first start working together. Although, it is common for people who like a little extra support to check in weekly or people who are fairly independent to check in on a monthly basis.

What is included in a sports nutrition plan?

1. Your individual calorie requirements based on your body composition goals
2. Macronutrient targets
3. Supplement guide & recommendations
4. Complete nutrition plan including main meals & snack options
5. Meal planning template so that you are able to stick to the plan whilst eating a wide variety of foods you love
6. Portioned recipes designed to meet your personal requirements
7. Lifestyle advice to enhance your recovery including information on sleep, hydration & nutrient timing
8. Link to a Google spreadsheet to track your progress and daily habits
9. A summary of all information discussed during your consult

Do I have to follow it exactly?

How closely you follow the meal plan will depend on your goals and the timeframe in which you have set yourself to reach those goals. Your dietitian will discuss this with you during your consult & we will always go with what works best for you!
