Episode 45. Angie Asche - Fuel Your Body. How to Cook & Eat for Peak Performance.

Angie Asche (MS, RD, CSSD) is a VIS Expert™, registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics, owner of Eleat Sports Nutrition and author of a new book called FUEL YOUR BODY - How to Cook and Eat for Peak Performance. In this episode Angie speaks out about the importance of fuelling for women athletes. Angie explains the four food groups that every athlete should be familiar with, and gives us great examples of a pre and post workout meal. She also talks to us about the importance of eating enough, both on hard training days and rest days. We dive deep into why we should not categorize foods into “good” and “bad”, and why even elite athletes eat cookies and dessert. Angie reminds us all, that food is so much more than just fuel and that there is no one perfect way to eat. Finally, Angie shares a few warning signs that we can look out for when we think we might be under-fueling as women athletes.
