It's now time for the Food for Fitness podcast with me, your host, Scott Baphtey.

We're on episode 137 of the Food for Fitness podcast.

And first thing I suppose I need to do is apologize that I've

not been in your lugs, that's your ears, for the last two weeks, because of scheduling problems

and all this. I won't go on. But anyway, we're back here and it's worth the weight because this

episode is a real humdinger. I've got Richard Allison who is a performance

nutritionist at Arsenal Football Club, who for anybody who just know who they are, they

play in the Premier League, the top tier in English football. And we are chatting all about

behind the scenes of, behind the nutrition scenes at a professional football club.

So we'll be looking at what does Richard do? Does he write meal plans? Is it about habits?

We'll look about the food they get in the canteen, personal chefs. We'll be talking about

pre-match nutrition, what they do at halftime, postmatch, supplements, dealing with compliance, injuries,

all of this good stuff. It's a fascinating podcast episode. I mean, I loved it because I'm a huge

football fan, so of course I'm going to say it was great. But even if you're not into football,

you'll find the insight very interesting. And if you do play other sports, you'll be able to apply some of the things we talk about

and the concepts to your sport.

So if you're a rugby player or hockey or anything like this, you'll find this very useful too.

So let's get into episode 137 with Richard Allison.
