48. Fueling for Competition: Advice from Registered Dietitians Melisa and Yasi of MY Dance Nutrition

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you know the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist? My guests this week are both, and the distinction is an important one becuase it means they have the education and training, plus the dance background to go with it, so they can support you and your dancers' nutrition needs.  I have Melissa and Yasi from MY Dance Nutrition on the show today, and we purposely wanted to record and get this out to all of you in the thick of competition season when you’re preparing for long days or traveling to national championships because they have great advice for how to fuel your dancers for competition. They even have a bonus for you during the episode, so listen in to hear more about the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Fueling for Nationals Coaches Guide. During the episode, we talk about diet culture, our relationship with our bodies as coaches and teachers, that carbs are your friends, recovering from long days, having snack time at practice, and even how to support your dancers around food when they walk into practice eating candy or sugar cereals. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">_____________</span></p> <p><strong>Mentioned in Today’s Show:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website:</span> <a href= "https://signup.mydancenutrition.dance/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">My Dance Nutrition</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram:</span> <a href= "https://instagram.com/mydancenutrition"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@mydancenutrition</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Click the website link and</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">sign up for our email list to receive the Dancer's Plate handout and bonus - Fueling for Nationals Coaches Guide.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">__________</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you enjoy today’s episode?
