Athletes require a strategic approach to nutrition that differs between regular training days and competition or peak performance days. On training days, the focus should be on maintaining a steady intake of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates to support muscle repair and sustained energy. On peak performance days, carbohydrate intake may need to be increased for quick-access energy, while protein supports muscle function and recovery.

At True Nutrition RD, with offices in Summit and Spring Lake, we help athletes build personalized meal timing and macronutrient strategies that align with training demands—whether you’re training locally in Chatham or Wall Township, or just starting your performance journey.

Real-time insights for sustained energy and performance.

Endurance athletes rely on steady energy levels to sustain performance over long durations. A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) offers real-time feedback on your body’s response to food, allowing you to fine-tune your fueling strategy for optimal results. By tracking glucose trends, athletes can reduce crashes, improve glycogen replenishment, and fuel smarter during training and competition.

Whether you’re running marathons in Summit or cycling through Spring Lake, our CGM-supported approach helps you stay ahead of the curve and perform at your best.

A strong digestive system supports nutrient absorption, hydration, immune function, and inflammation control—all vital for athletes. When gut health is compromised, it can reduce training capacity, hinder recovery, and increase vulnerability to illness or injury.

At True Nutrition RD, we offer gut-supportive strategies—including dietary guidance, probiotic-rich foods, and lifestyle shifts—for athletes in Summit, Spring Lake, and nearby areas like Millburn and Neptune Township who want to optimize performance from the inside out.

To build muscle and improve strength, your body needs more than just reps—it needs fuel. A balanced intake of calories, protein, and carbs is essential to power your workouts and support muscle repair. Under-fueling can stall progress, increase fatigue, and make recovery more difficult.

True Nutrition RD works with strength-focused clients in Summit, NJ and Spring Lake, NJ to create tailored, sustainable plans that match training demands and promote long-term gains—whether you’re lifting in Morristown or heading into your first CrossFit cycle near Manasquan.

Recovery is more than rest—it’s a key part of the training cycle. Your body needs adequate nutrients, fluids, and electrolytes to repair muscle, restore energy, and prevent injury. Skipping recovery nutrition can slow your progress and increase the risk of overtraining.

Our registered dietitian supports clients throughout Summit, Spring Lake, and surrounding areas like New Providence and Belmar, helping them develop practical routines that support recovery and performance consistency.

Supplements can be a helpful addition to an athlete’s diet—but only when used responsibly. At True Nutrition RD, we prioritize a food-first approach and help clients determine when supplements like protein powders, creatine, or omega-3s may be beneficial based on their specific needs.

We guide clients from Summit, Spring Lake, and beyond in choosing third-party-tested, effective products and understanding how to integrate them into a well-rounded nutrition plan.

Fasted training can offer metabolic benefits for some athletes, but it’s not the best option for everyone. Depending on the intensity and type of exercise, working out without fuel may lead to decreased performance or muscle loss.

We help athletes in Summit, Spring Lake, and nearby towns like Sea Girt understand how to safely experiment with fasted workouts—when appropriate—and how to properly fuel for strength, endurance, and recovery.

While exercise supports metabolic health and muscle development, weight management is driven largely by what you eat. Many athletes overestimate the calorie burn from workouts and underestimate the impact of food choices.

At True Nutrition RD, we help clients from Summit to Spring Lake Heights align their training with realistic, science-based nutrition plans for weight management that doesn’t rely on overtraining or calorie obsession. Sustainable results come from a balanced, educated approach—and that’s where we come in.
