Sports Nutritionists face unique challenges: Athletes log food inconsistently and you're coaching off half-finished diaries that don't reflect what they actually ate. Building individualized fueling plans around training cycles, weight goals, and food preferences is hours of work per athlete. Coordinating with each athlete's coach so the nutrition plan matches the training load nobody else can see. Following up on whether clients are actually hitting their fueling and hydration targets between sessions. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median sports nutritionist earns $40,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your morning starts with reviewing food logs that came in overnight, and the recurring frustration is how incomplete they are, an athlete who skipped logging dinner three days running, another who clearly under-reports the weekend. You read between the lines, because a hungry-all-the-time endurance athlete is usually under-fueling, not overeating. The first consult is a distance runner trying to fix mid-long-run bonking, so you map her carbohydrate intake against her training calendar and build a fueling protocol for the hours before, during, and after her key sessions. You do a sweat-rate calculation with her to dial in hydration, because cramping is often just sodium and water math. Mid-morning is plan-building, the time-eater of the job, individualizing meals around a client's training load, weight goal, budget, and the fact that he hates fish. You message a triathlete's coach to make sure the carb periodization lines up with the coach's hard and easy days, because a nutrition plan that ignores the training is useless. Afternoon brings a body-composition check-in and a hard conversation about a client who's been skipping the recovery shake. You finish by updating fueling plans, sending check-in nudges to the athletes who've gone quiet, and prepping handouts for tomorrow's group session on race-day nutrition.
