I am a Registered Dietitian with a Bachelor's degree in Food Science and Nutrition (2007) and a Master's degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology (2010). I worked for 2 years as a college sports nutritionist at the University of Florida (2008-2010) with athletes from many sports (football, soccer, baseball, softball, gymnastics, swimming, cross country, track, basketball, lacrosse, cheerleading, etc.). I was also a Division 1 college soccer player at Clemson University where I took my nutrition seriously to reach my full athletic potential.
Learner will keep a food journal 2 days/week and will compare how various aspects of their intake (according to the topic of the week) compares to that of an elite athlete.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
