I am very excited to be attending the Sports Dietitians Conference in Melbourne Friday and Saturday this week! Such an exciting program, I am particularly looking forward to hearing about ‘New Insights into Carbohydrate Feeding During Exercise”, an update on “Post Exercise Protein Intake”, and the latest “Iron Therapies” for athletes. Not to mention, caffeine and nitrate, beetroot juice, and manipulating body composition. !!!

Stay tuned for some updates on what I learn at this conference in the weeks to come!
