Nutrition Advice
Practical nutrition guidance for performance and control.
A session on the practical, everyday side of eating around training and matches — meal timing, what to carry with you, and building habits that hold up on a busy training or school week, not just in theory.
This isn't a replacement for a dietitian, and Ellen is upfront about that. She won't hand over a fixed meal plan or specific dosing numbers — those need to come from your own medical team, because what works for her body and her insulin regimen won't necessarily be right for yours. What she can share is what's genuinely worked for her, built alongside her own dietitian over several seasons of full-time football.
This topic can be booked as part of either an online coaching call or a face-to-face session — choose whichever format works best for you when booking.
Why It Helps
Benefits
Practical, not prescriptive
Real habits that fit around training and matches — not a rigid meal plan or a list of foods to avoid.
Built around an athlete's actual schedule
Eating patterns shaped by real training and matchday demands, not generic healthy-eating advice.
Honest about where the line is
Ellen will tell you clearly when something needs your own dietitian or medical team, rather than guessing at specifics that aren't hers to give.
Confidence with the basics
Simple, practical habits — like what to always carry — that remove some of the daily guesswork.
Real Scenarios
Where This Fits
Working out a matchday eating routine
Building a simple, repeatable approach to eating around training and games, alongside your own dietitian's guidance.
Fitting meals around a packed training or school week
Making eating patterns realistic when training, school and family life are all competing for time.
A parent wanting a practical, athlete's-eye view
Hearing how food and training fit together day-to-day from an athlete who's lived it, alongside — not instead of — your dietitian relationship.
Ideal For
Young athletes who want practical, real-world habits around eating and training — and parents who want an athlete's perspective to sit alongside their child's dietitian, not replace it.
