Pembroke, ON | Subject: Peak Performance nutritional counselling- OttawaHas anyone here used the nutritional counselling/testing from Peak Performance in Ottawa? I am thinking about the comprehensive package which includes: The comprehensive package offers A body composition test in conjunction with a RMR analysis before and 3 months after beginning your comprehensive assessment measures your unique personal caloric requirements. An accurate assessment of your RMR helps you, your Dietitian, and your Coach or Personal Trainer to better plan and evaluate your nutrition and training programs. You will record your food and fluid intake for 3 days (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day) and also log your physical activity. Your food and activity log will be analyzed using one of the top software programs in North America. Your nutrition summary will provide a list of nutrition and physical activity recommendations based on your health goals. It will also include a list of any nutrients your diet may be deficient in, such as B vitamins, calcium, iron, or zinc. The meal plan will ensure that you are getting appropriate carbohydrate, protein, fat, fluid, and calorie intake based on your age, weight, height, gender, and activity level. The meal plan will be your guide for making meal and snack choices. It will also include ideas for pre-workout, during workout, and post workout eating based on your daily exercise or training program. Different meal plans can be periodized with the different periodization cycles in your annual training program. For instance, weight management strategies and calorie control will be needed in the transition between the end of one competitive cycle and the preparation of a new competitive cycle. Carbohydrate loading for endurance athletes would be appropriate in the competitive cycle and specific guidance with respect to macronutrient quantity (e.g. carbohydrate, protein, and fat needs), micronutrients (e.g. iron, sodium, calcium, Vitamin D), timing of nutrients (recovery nutrition), and hydration (fluid and electrolytes) would be essential in the preparation and competitive cycles for all athletesWanted to see if anyone had had this done and any feedback they had on following the plan given to them and whether it produced results. |
