TBP 175: Protein for Climbers 101 How Much, What Kind, Timing, and Why

Published: Aug. 12, 2021, 7:12 p.m.

Welcome to the New Nutrition Episodes

I\u2019m not sure why I haven\u2019t done this before, but I\u2019ll be publishing regular episodes on nutrition for climbers. Seeing as how I\u2019m a nutrition professional, I should\u2019ve been talking more about this topic all along! But it\u2019s never too late, so here\u2019s the first of many to come.

A little about me, in case you didn\u2019t know:

After completing my Bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology and Zoology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, I did a 4-year nutrition certificate program at Seven Bowls School of Nutrition, Nourishment, and Healing. I graduated in 2007 as a Certified Integrative Clinical Nutrition Therapist. During those 4 years, I learned about not only nutrition, but herbs, homeopathy, and other alternative practices. I\u2019ve been seeing clients since 2007 and I\u2019ve worked exclusively with climbers since 2013.

In this episode, I talk all about protein, which is the number one issue I see in my clients\u2019 diets. I talk about why it\u2019s important to get enough of it as climbers and how to realistically get enough of it every day, whether you\u2019re a meat eater, vegan or something in between.

This is a recording taken from a 5-day nutrition challenge I did last year in front of a live audience. I talked for about 15 minutes on the topic and then took a bunch of questions from the audience (very common questions, so they\u2019re quite relevant).

If you\u2019re looking for help with your own nutrition\xa0and you feel like you need personalized help, I\u2019m taking new clients right now. I also have a program that is self-paced with 4+ hours of video from me, PDF\u2019s, and meal plans laid out for you. You can find more information about my services and the program at\xa0www.trainingbeta.com/nutrition.

You\u2019re welcome to email me at neely@trainingbeta.com if you have any questions at all.
