Hi Friends!
One of my favorite parts about being a Registered Dietitian is getting to know all of the other amazing RDs there are out there. Over the years, through school, my dietetic internship, blogging and work I’ve gotten to know some Registered Dietitians that are doing some pretty incredible things. I like nothing more than celebrating and sharing their accomplishments, especially when I think it could benefit you, my readers!
One of my very good RD friends is Anne from Fannetastic Food. She and I went through our internships at similar times and have both been involved in the blogging world for a while now. Plus she’s an entrepreneur as well so she’s been a great resource for me and it’s nice to have someone to chat with about the kind of “non-traditional” dietetics work we’re both doing.
For the past year, Anne has been working with Jason Fitzgerald from Strength Running to develop a Nutrition For Runners program.
As you guys know, since I’ve found Crossfit, running just isn’t my thing anymore. HOWEVER, I know that lots of you guys are runners! So I thought I’d share some info about the Nutrition for Runners program with you guys in case any of you think it’d be helpful to you and your training!
Nutrition for Runners is a comprehensive nutrition and training program for runners. In addition to meal guides, expert interviews, and a full recipe cookbook, it also includes a library of training plans designed for either performance or weight loss. It’s truly a one stop shop for those of you looking to take your running performance to the next level.
Here’s what you will find included in the full program:
- A full overview book, which includes our “5 Principles of Nutrition for Runners“
- Fueling strategies for every scenario: 5k, 10k, half marathon & marathon – plus workout fueling for morning, afternoon & evening runners
- The complete “Ask the Dietitian” series, showing you how to reduce sugar cravings, which supplements are worth it, and more
- Meal Guide & Runner’s Cookbook with example meal guides based on the time of day you run (!) and recipes sorted into categories for before, during, and after runs
- Real food recipes for mid-run fuel, if you’re not a gel/gummy fan
- 30 easy to prepare, quick recipes for runners – plus 49 more ideas for simple snacks and meals
- 5 expert interviews (over 5 hours of audio!) on food intolerances, mistakes to avoid, race-specific fueling, inflammation & more
- 15 Training Plans so you can get faster in the 5k, 10k, half marathon & marathon – plus 3 weight loss plans to help you shed pounds easily
- The “Dietitian Approved” Shopping List, showing you exactly what to buy (and why)
I had a chance to look through everything included in the program and you guys, it’s fantastic! Some things I like:
- It uses intuitive eating principles instead of calorie counting (except when fueling for a long run).
- It focuses on 5 solid nutrition principles that I agree with.
- The Q&A section covers a lot of questions that I get asked myself as an RD.
- There are some great meal planning tips and recipe ideas.
- They offer suggestions based on what time of day you train- another thing I get asked a lot.
- The expert interviews are jam-packed with info from some very well-respected names.
- There are tons of different training plans to choose from (15 of them!) – something for runners of every level.
While this is pricier than your average ebook, it’s so much more than just an ebook! It’s like having a running coach and dietitian along with you while you’re training! So I think it’s worth the money.

Enjoy!

LEARN HOW FOOD AFFECTS YOUR BODY.
Get my free Table Talk email series where I share bite-sized nutrition information about carbs, protein, and fat, plus bonus information about snacks and sugar!
Yes, I have totally seen both. Increasing my protein, using the right carbs and adding fat have been huge changes and improvements for me since I became more serious about working out. Nutrition is so key and it’s great to see Anne putting out a great e-book product such as this. Thanks for the review!
I haven’t seen these before. Thanks for sharing!
I am not a RD but have a nutrition certification. Still, I’m amazed at how little the general public realizes that food affects their performance everywhere! Fad diets are so biased yet believable… and I don’t blame those without any nutrition background because even the gov’t is pushing for unhealthy things!
Ok… I’ll get off my soapbox! Totally sharing these books with my running friends and clients now!
I love both of you ladies!! 🙂 This book sounds really great and totally worth it. I know how confusing getting the proper nutrients can be when training for various races. 🙂
Ditto that. I think getting the right nutrition when working out is so vital! I feel like everyday I read a case in the paper about another runner who was in excellent shape literally drop dead on the road. It’s scary! And it must be nutritionally related somehow. Glad you posted this, I don’t want that to me!!
Wow thanks for sharing! It looks fabulous!
Nutrition and running is such a hard topic because it’s so different for everyone. Well nutrition in general is. It’s something I’m always researching and looking for more of. I truly believe that my marathon didn’t go 100% as planned because of in race nutrition actually. Thanks for sharing Lindsay, I’ll have to look into it.
This could be so useful for me. I always feel like I had a hard time finding balance and making sure I was eating enough of the right thing when training. I’ll look into it once I can run again after pregnancy!
This is very interesting and also very tempting. I love the team (Nancy Clark has been one of my fav RDs forever!) but just can’t do it right now. Thank you for sharing because I will absolutely keep it in mind for the future.
Thank you so much for the review, Lindsay! I agree — love networking with other RDs. It’s such an great group – I’m inspired by all the dietitians I know each and every day, you included! So glad to know you. 🙂
This is a tough subject to tackle since it seems like everyone has a different experience with what seems to work! I definitely agree with mostly eating intuitively, with a big exception of the long run. That’s the one time I’m proactive in replacing the calories I burned, because often I’m not hungry enough after a really long run to do it intuitively. Also, if you’re maintaining weight and muscle mass that’s a good sign things are working well.
I can’t wait to take a look at this. I am a bit of book nerd when it comes to nutrition for runners. I have a few favorites, so it will be interesting to see what Anne has to say about the topic.
yep! i think you’d love it!
This is awesome. I really want to look into this… I think I either over-compensate or eat the wrong things sometimes. I just eat so much and I’m hungry all the time but I know what helps with that… protein!! It’s just so hard for me because I don’t love protein sources like chicken!
it’s a good read with lots of good ideas!
Thanks for sharing the book! I completely believe nutrition can make or break your fitness or training. It’s a tough thing for every individual to figure out too.
Thus is great! I usually just go by eat when hungry thing but as I increase miles during marathon training it CAN become out of control! Thank you for sharing even though you’re more about CrossFit now 😉
Thanks for all the interest everyone! Anne and I are excited about the program and know it can help. Appreciate the great review Lindsay 🙂
Nutrition is so important! As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I have experienced feeling good while full of the good stuff, and feeling bad while improperly fueled. Good eats and water are IMPERATIVE to reach your goals. That’s awesome about Anne’s book. Thanks for sharing!
I need to get better about actually figuring out proper fueling for my body. I have gone through a lot of trial and error to figure out what foods my body likes best, but I think it is the ratio of those foods that I need to fine tune, especially with being pretty active. There are some times when I feel my energy lacking in a workout and Im not sure if it is bc Im tired or if I should have been fueling myself better.
I saw Anne’s book on her site when it was published and I think it’s awesome! Props!
I became vegetarian a long time ago, so I’ve always been a no-meat runner. I’m wondering if the book caters to meat-eaters only, or speaks to a wide variety of diets? Im always trying to learn more about how I fuel my body before and after runs and this sounds legit.
Hey Melissa – this is answered on the Nutrition for Runners page. Check it out and let me know if you still have any questions.
This year I’ve started to dive more into macros and running and how to lose weight and metabolic efficiency training, so this book sounds fabulous. I love that it’s written by an RD as I’ve read a few articles that seem like they’re based in pseudo-science, and those upset me.
yep! it’s definitely some solid advice!
Love it! Go fellow RD’s! I love that they incorporated intuitive eating principles into the book. That is so much more important than calorie counting. Thanks for sharing!
yes! that was one of the highlights for me!
This looks really comprehensive and solid. I have to look into it more and really love the idea of intuitive eating vs. calorie counting.
i think you’d love it!
