Why does fueling feel so confusing right now? One minute carbs are the answer to everything, the next someone on social media is telling you everyone is overfueling and doing it all wrong, and even us Sport Dietitians don't know what we're talking about.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why nutrition has become such a controversial topic in the running world, and why so many runners feel stressed, overwhelmed, and unsure who to trust online.

We’ll talk about:

• Why social media hot takes spread so quickly
• The problem with taking advice based only on someone’s personal experience
• How bias and assumptions shape fueling conversations
• Why nutrition is never the only factor behind performance
• The dangers of chasing extreme opinions online
• How to build confidence in your own fueling approach instead of constantly second guessing yourself

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that fueling should support you, not leave you feeling guilty, anxious, or confused every time you open Instagram.

If you’re tired of conflicting advice and want help building a fueling strategy that actually works for your body and running goals, The Fueled Runner online program is here for you.
