"Should I be drinking protein shakes?" If there's one question I hear more than any other as a Dietitian, this has gotta be it. Protein supplements (shakes, powders, bars) are the most commonly used products on the market. I mean, everyone and their grandma has got protein powder in their kitchen!

Today, we're talking all about protein supplements in general, and who they might be right for. And, I also taste tested some different store-bought protein shakes to find one which one is the best. So if you are in the market for a little extra protein in your day, I've got you covered!

Should The Game Changers change your sport nutrition game?

There's a new nutrition documentary making waves on the Netflix scene. Called The Game Changers, it's the personal story of James Wilks, a former UFC fighter. He began following a vegan diet in an attempt to recover faster from a serious injury he sustained during training. While learning more about the best diet that would help his body recover, he had his mind absolutely blown by the fact that eating plants are actually good for you! (it should be noted here that clearly many athletes receive little to no nutrition education as part of their training programs). He was so impressed by the results he had from going vegan, he made a whole documentary about it. In this film he highlights other athletes who claim to have found performance advantages by trading in their steaks for tofu.

Of course in the past few weeks the discussion surrounding this documentary has been blowing up my social media feeds and DMs, so I had to check it out.

By this point in your training journey, you've probably ran...a lot. You've also probably eaten... a lot. You might wonder though what should change, if anything about your nutrition plan in the days leading up to your big event. I recently did a segment for Global News Winnipeg about Sport Nutrition for the upcoming Manitoba Marathon (click the link below to check it out!). I wanted to share some other last-minute nutrition tips for my fellow runners to help them cross the finish line feeling like a million bucks. Read on to see my top tips for last minute race-day prep!
