NUTRITION

For athletes to reach peak performance, fueling their bodies is imperative.  Optimal fueling includes eating enough real food to meet the required energy needs, drink enough of the right fluids to properly hydrate the body, and maintain the right balance of nutrients.  Enrolled Emory varsity student-athletes are eligible to consult with a Board Certified Sports Dietitian/Nutritionist* at Student Health Services at no cost. 

The Sports Nutritionist can:

** Help identify the correct foods for pre/during/post exercise

** Help with fluid choices pre/during/post exercise

** Help design a plan that accomodates food allergies or medical conditions

** Help with weight gain or appropriate weight loss

*The Board Certification as a Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) credential is the premier professional sports nutrition credential in the United States.   CSSDs are registered dietitians who provide safe, effective, evidence-based nutrition services for health, fitness, and athletic performance.    The CSSD was developed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), the credentialing agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the nation’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals.    CDR is an organizational member of the National Organization for Competency Assurance.
