Episode 37: Fuelling for the Life You Live with Claire Shorenstein

Whether you’re mountain biking, paddleboarding, chasing your kids or running just for the joy of it, how do you know you’re eating enough to keep up? In this episode of Discovering Nutrition, our host Eliisa sits down with registered dietitian and sports nutrition expert Claire Shorenstein to explore the energy needs of the everyday athlete. They dive deep into what proper fuelling looks like when you’re active but not training for a specific event, how to tell if you’re unintentionally underfueling, and why you might need to rethink rest days, recovery and those tempting wearable metrics. Claire shares practical tools, expert strategies and science-backed insights that can help you feel better, train smarter and live fully without obsessing over calories or falling into restriction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who moves their body most days, not because they have to, but because they love to.

Key Notes:

  • Why everyday movement counts, even if you’re not training for an event.
  • Energy availability explained using the “bank account” analogy.
  • How to use wearables and nutrition trackers as tools, not rulebooks.
  • The hidden impact of underfueling on recovery, mood, hormones and performance.
  • What to eat and how often when you’re on the move for hours.
  • Why weight loss and performance rarely go hand in hand.
  • When supplements are useful and when they just add clutter.
  • How to build a long-term movement lifestyle without burnout.
