Registered, and selling nothing
Registered dietitian working with academy and first-team players. Practical fuelling for people who train hard.
Match day
See the detail →The plan most players are given assumes they have a kitchen, a car and no nerves.
A 15:00 kick-off, for a player who trains hard and does not want to feel heavy. Times are from kick-off; the amounts are worked out per kilogram in the plan, not guessed here.
The assessment
See the detail →The ABCD framework, in full, before a plan exists. This is the professional standard and it is published here so you can hold me to it.
Anthropometric
Height, mass, and skinfolds taken by somebody accredited to take them. Repeated the same way every time, by me, so the numbers are comparable rather than merely collected.
Biochemical
Bloods, where your doctor has them or where they are worth requesting — iron status and vitamin D most often. I read them; I do not order them, and I refer back when something is outside my scope.
Clinical
Injury and illness history, medication, gut symptoms, menstrual status where relevant. The part that most often explains a problem everybody else has been treating as a diet problem.
Dietary
What you actually eat, over days that look like your real week rather than your best one. Weighed where it matters, estimated where it does not.
Consultations
See the detail →Prices on the page. The first one includes an honest answer about whether you need the others.
Four-week review

What worked, what did not, and what changes. Most people need two of these and then stop.

One player's week. The gap on Thursday and Saturday is the problem — not the total, which looked fine on paper.
Writing

Cramp is usually not what you think it is
The salt explanation is the popular one. The evidence for it is weaker than almost anybody realises.

Eating on a matchday with a 15:00 kick-off
The plan most players are given assumes they have a kitchen, a car and no nerves. Here is one that does not.

The four supplements worth the money, and why the rest are not
I sell none of these and take commission from nobody, which is the only reason this list is short.

How I work
Assess before advising
The ABCD framework, in full, before a plan exists. Anyone writing you a meal plan in the first session is writing it for somebody else.
Fit the plan to the week you actually have
A plan that assumes you cook twice a day will not survive a Tuesday. Most of my job is finding the version you will still be doing in March.
Say what the evidence does not support
Including when that means telling you the thing you came in asking for does not work. It is the whole reason to see somebody registered.
