Sports Nutritionist

Hey Colby, If you find a good one let me know. I've been looking around but haven't had much luck. bikerHen

Here I was hoping you'd come with a recommendation

A friend of mine and I checked out the metabolic institute but didn't get much past calling and getting a feel for their services. They seemed disorganized and uninterested in helping or making recommendations over the phone (it was all pretty matter of fact - we were going for more like "this is what we want, can you do that, and in what order, and how much would it cost" but just got "these are the services we offer, call back if you want an appointment"). Could just be the office staff, but it would take personal recommendations from others for me to get beyond that.

Haven't shopped around beyond that. I know of nutritionist services elsewhere that are, well, for people who want to go on a diet and discuss vitamins and supplements, not people who want the sports nutrition angle. I don't really want to be someone's experiment.

I'll be sure to post again if I get any farther.

Colby, I wouldn't recommend the metabolic institute. I tried them a few years back. Not real helpful in the nutrition department. PM me if you want more details. bikerHen

Pedal! Thanks! I have a cycling class then, otherwise, I would come! Enjoy, and tell us what you learn!

Colby--it has been going really well. I feel like I have been learning a TON! My weight dropped really fast in the beginning, and then it has bounced around (up and down). More importantly, I have had more energy and felt less hungry all of the time! I have shifted to eating 5-8 times a day, every 2-3 hours, TONS more protein, and really thinking about my sports nutrition. I am going to go back for my third visit soon. It is also really nice to have someone to ask questions and call when I feel confused (or frustrated or excited!).

I like having someone local, but I really like seeing someone face to face when working on my training!
