Performance Nutritionist to Ireland’s Elite Sports Stars to Publish Cookbook Sharing his Recipes for Achieving Your Personal Best
Daniel Davey is the man who fuels many of Ireland’s elite athletes. A performance nutritionist for Leinster Rugby, Dublin senior footballers and SPARC, he shares his recipes on social media to an audience of over 65,000 eager fans from his FoodFlicker accounts and now, on 20 September this year, Gill Books have published his first cookbook, which shares the nutritional secrets for gaining a competitive edge.
Daniel says I have seen first-hand how consistently eating good food can lead to trophies, personal bests and incredible physiques but the good news is that it’s not just in elite sport that tremendous results can be accomplished through the right diet. Anyone can feel and perform better with the right food choices and I want that information to be accessible to everyone. In Eat Up, Raise Your Game I have translated the science of nutrition into simple recipes and information for achieving your personal best. The recipes and information are easy to follow and can be personalised to whatever your goals are.
The recipes are divided into lower carbohydrate, lower calorie recipes for rest and recovery days and higher carbohydrate, higher calorie recipes to energise and fuel your body on exercise days. You will learn to compliment your food choices with physical activity and meet all your nutritional requirements, depending on your individual needs.
As well as the recipes, Daniel shares his food philosophy, his 10 suggestions for long-lasting and sustainable habits, and answers to questions he gets asked on a daily basis, covering everything from calories, macronutrients, food timing, and supplements.
Backed up by the latest scientific literature translated into easy-to-understand practical information, these simple and delicious recipes will help to raise your game and feel energetic, healthy, fit, strong and confident so you are primed to achieve your personal goals, whatever they may be.
