Your Free Diet Outside Sucks? The Truth About Fueling for Endurance Athletes

Sports nutrition has never been more confusing.

One day carbs are the enemy. The next day protein is the answer to everything. Every week there's a new supplement, a new study, or another influencer promising the next breakthrough.

So how do endurance athletes separate good science from good marketing?

This week I'm joined by Kylie Van Horn, sports dietitian and author of *Practical Fueling for Endurance Athletes*, along with Zoe Rome, science communicator and co-host of the *Your Diet Sucks* podcast.

We dive into:

* Why nutrition advice online is so confusing

* Protein, carbs, and whether you're actually eating enough

* The truth about creatine, ketones, bicarb, and supplements

* How to think about fueling instead of following trends

* Weight loss and performance in endurance sports

* Plant-based diets for runners

* Why optimization can actually make running less enjoyable
