At Top Nutrition Coaching, we are here to support your quest to improve your sports performance through nutrition counseling. We’ll connect you with a certified expert who has the right knowledge and experience to help you achieve lasting success.
Most people find it frustrating and ineffective to try to improve their nutrition for better sports performance on their own. Hiring an expert offers many advantages.
It’s not always convenient or even possible to attend an NY nutrition group or set up traditional in-person meetings with a dietitian. Our online network makes it easy to connect with an expert coach over the internet from the comfort of your home.
To be a “Certified Dietitian,” “Certified Nutritionist,” or “Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist” in New York, you must be at least 18 years old and complete the state’s certification requirements.
New York requires at least a bachelor’s degree in an accredited dietetics-nutrition program along with 800 work experience hours under supervision from a NY-State-Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist. Alternatively, you may have a qualifying associate degree along with at least 10 years of full-time work experience under supervision.
To become certified, you must be endorsed by 3 certified dietitian-nutritionists. You must also pass either the Registered Dietitian (RD) exam or the Certified Nutrition Specialist exam.
New York City may be home to countless medical nutrition therapy experts and healthy food choices, but so many options can be overwhelming. Some of the greatest benefits of the city also present challenges, especially when you’re trying to align your eating habits with your sports goals.
Many homes in New York City have compact kitchens with limited space to store and prepare healthy ingredients. Residents often have to shop for just a few meals at a time, which can make it difficult to eat a diverse diet full of nutrient-rich foods.
Often, city residents shop at local bodegas, which don’t have as many options for fresh food and produce as large supermarkets. Even if you have a plan for cooking nutritious meals, the difficulties of finding, storing, and preparing fresh ingredients may make it impossible to stick to that plan.
Often, store shelves (especially those in small, local markets) are full of highly-processed foods and ingredients, which are convenient and tasty, but not very nutritious. These commonly found foods may even be addictive, which can make it harder to choose healthier, unprocessed ingredients even when they are easily available.
One of the best parts of living in New York City is access to delicious restaurants and takeout options from every type of cuisine. However, the convenience of eating out or ordering delivery often makes it hard to choose foods that support your dietary goals, such as those with enough protein to facilitate muscle recovery. The temptation of ordering a less-than-healthy meal from a favorite restaurant makes it hard to stick to nutrition goals.
