Skylar Weir is a registered dietitian and an avid endurance sports athlete based in Steamboat Springs. She runs a full-service nutrition counseling business and is well-versed in the theory behind what she says. That said, this episode is more about the practice. Are you cramming in an early-morning training session before work? Going straight from the office to the trailhead to crush intervals at 6:30 p.m.? A student-athlete trying to time lunch before a 3 p.m. practice? Skylar has practical suggestions on how to fuel for all these situations. She also preaches enjoying the process rather than simply curating a hyper-clinical focus on optimal macronutrient distribution. “Joy is a nutrient too,” Skylar says, “and we can’t overlook that.”
