Metabolic Efficiency Training with Sports Dietitian Bob Seebohar

Happy New Year and welcome to Episode 81 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast! Today Sports Dietitian Bob Seebohar (MS RD CSSD CSCS) of eNRG Performance joins me on the show to chat all about Metabolic Efficiency Training (MET), a concept that he created in the early 2000s. MET can be defined as a systematic nutrition and exercise approach to improving the body's ability to use its internal stores of nutrients, specifically carbohydrates and fat. It’s also a way to optimize your blood sugar through proper periodization of food, using a non-diet approach. We explore this concept in great detail, talk about what nutrition periodization for athletes looks like in everyday and performance nutrition, and discuss how you can test for metabolic efficiency. This was a fantastic conversation and I hope you all enjoy it and find it useful!Links:Bob’s Website: https://www.enrgperformance.com/Follow Bob on Instagram and eNRG performance on InstagramCheck out Bob’s podcast, Inside Sports Nutrition Announcements:Support the podcast by purchasing my new merch! Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review, and share it with your friends!If you can afford to support the show financially, please visit my Patreon page to make a donationHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?
