The day-to-day
Nutrition looks different in every setting.
From team dining to the hours between practice and home, what’s available—and what fits—matters.
Food in the middle of a busy day
Portable, available, and timed for training

Small routines athletes can repeat
01 / Our approach
Nutrition advice has to work in real life.
A plan has to fit someone's schedule, food preferences, budget, and access to meals. That's where we want to start, then build guidance athletes can actually use.
We’re interested in everyday fueling, recovery, athlete education, and routines that make healthy choices easier to stick with.
02 / Consulting opportunities
Ways to get involved.
We’re developing paid projects for nutrition professionals, researchers, and people early in their careers. Some may be one-off; others could continue as needs grow. The work depends on the project and your qualifications, and we’ll agree on the details before it starts.
Nutrition education programs
Help develop programs that account for athletes’ schedules, food access, preferences, and the demands of their sport.
Tools and program development
Help shape nutrition tools and athlete-support programs, from early research through a first pilot and feedback.
Research and evaluation
Support literature reviews, gather feedback, and help measure whether nutrition programs are meeting athletes’ needs.
Credentials and scope matter. Graduate students and early-career practitioners may contribute to suitable education, research, and development work. Medical nutrition therapy and other regulated services require the appropriate credentials, supervision, and authorization.
03 / Working with us

04 / Good to know
Questions before you reach out.
A few things you might be wondering about.
Do I need an RD or RDN credential?
Not for every project. Some education, research, and writing work may suit qualified students or other contributors. Work that requires an RD/RDN or another professional license will be handled by someone with the right credentials.
Is this a full-time job?
No. These are consulting projects, not a full-time job offer. Some work may continue over time, but that depends on what projects are available.
Which sports might I work with?
The initiative currently focuses on football, basketball, soccer, and hockey at the collegiate and professional levels. Any specific team or league involvement would be confirmed as part of a project.
What does the $100,000 figure mean?
It’s a possible total for consultants taking on substantial, recurring work if the program grows. It isn’t a salary or guaranteed contract, and it doesn’t promise a certain amount of work.
What happens after I reach out?
We’ll start with a short conversation about your experience, interests, and availability. If there’s a suitable project, we’ll talk through the scope, timeline, oversight, and compensation.
