PocketFuel Review in KH Nutrition
Kim is a registered dietitian and nutritionist living and recreating in NYC. When she approached us about wanting to try PocketFuel we were stoked to send her some to try out and review on her blog. As an athlete we knew she would “get it” but we were more than happy to know that as a professional she really understands the need to fuel your body correctly for optimal performance….
PocketFuel: Whole Food Fuel
For runners, cyclists and other endurance athletes, proper fueling (both daily and during exercise) is essential. But for many, it can be stressful. What should you be eating to fuel your workouts? How much? When? Most athletes have their go-to sports nutrition product. Some prefer gels, others only use chews, some stick to just sports drinks. Ask any 5 athletes what they use, and I’d bet you get 5 different answers. A lot of it is a matter of personal preference. And there is a lot of information out there about what products are “best”. But what does ”best” even mean to you? Is it the best combination of carbohydrates, electrolytes and fluids to get you through a workout? Or does it mean providing your body all of those things without any additives or processed ingredients I get a lot of questions about fueling exercise using whole, natural foods vs. using processed sports nutrition products. Is that even possible? Absolutely!
Thanks Kim, we really appreciate your thoughtful and knowledgeable review!
