Nutrition education has a positive impact on knowledge and athletic performance. In recent years, there has been an increase in position papers on dietary guidelines outlining optimal intake and timing of food, fluids and supplements for athletes. Yet, despite increased sports nutrition information, many athletes still fail to meet nutritional guidelines for optimal performance. There are many reasons for their substandard diets including issues related to enough time, money, taste preferences, culture, attitudes, convenience and basic cooking skills.

Sports dietitians are uniquely positioned to provide the culinary education to athletes to empower them to be able to meet their needs and the sports nutrition guidelines.
