Fueling Facts Versus Fads- A Deep Dive into Endurance Sports Nutrition with Kylee Van Horn

This week, I sit down with Kylee Van Horn, founder of Flynutrition, endurance athlete, coach, author, and podcast host to dig into the realities of fueling for performance, media myths, and everything in between when it comes to sports nutrition.

Kylee’s background as both an athlete and a registered dietitian gives her an unique lens on how nutrition impacts health, recovery, and performance. Together, we pull apart the noise, challenge diet culture, and talk about what really matters when it comes to fueling endurance athletes.

In This Episode, We Cover:

The context needed for fueling for performance vs. weight loss.

The media’s role in nutrition narratives and how influencers and documentaries can mislead athletes.

The link between under-fueling and repetitive injuries.

Understanding your own personalized carb needs using general guidelines and individual nuance by incorporating things like stress, sleep, and recovery.

The pros/cons of macro tracking and when it becomes unhelpful.

Signs of under-fueling including delayed recovery, menstrual changes, and hormone issues.

How to gradually increase carb intake, hydrate well, and “train the gut.”

Practical hacks for busy athletes such as snack planning, portable foods, and easy carb options.
