Join Chris Newport and Marisa Faibish, both sports nutritionists at The Endurance Edge, to discuss the basics of fueling young athletes for their sport. 

Marisa talks about how it’s important for a dietitian to make a full assessment of a youth athlete’s diet. We discuss some of the things that we look at as sports nutritionists, including:

• Calorie, or energy intake, and the impact on health and performance
• Macronutrient intake and how it’s sport dependent
• Micronutrient intake and how certain ones can be depleted
• Nutrient timing and how it affects performance
• Supplement intake, if necessary
