What is Good Nutrition?

Coaches are often asked this question and there are many answers. Good nutrition properly controls energy balance, provides necessary nutrients, and is sustainable. A “good diet” may look different for each athlete and it is important to keep that in mind while writing custom nutrition programs. Coaches should  have an open mind and not limit clients to certain types of diets and clients should also be open minded to try different approaches. Ultimately, the best diet is the one that works for someone that they can follow during the 23 hours a day they are away from the gym.
