Are you outsourcing your nutrition to an app or ChatGPT and hoping it just works? Here’s why that could be a massive mistake...
In this episode, I unpack the shiny trap of using AI tools and nutrition apps to guide your fuelling strategy. Sure, they’re convenient, look polished and promise quick wins – but are they really working for you?
Triathletes aren’t 80% people – and near enough with nutrition just doesn’t cut it when you’re training for three sports. If you’ve ever second guessed whether your plan is right or felt unsure when your energy’s low or recovery is off – this episode is for you.
Learn how to stop blindly following what an app tells you to eat and start building true confidence in your nutrition.
In this episode, I cover:
⏱ 00:00 – Why this episode might make you uncomfortable (and that’s a good thing!)
⏱ 01:20 – Where AI and apps get you halfway – and where they fall short
⏱ 02:50 – The human factor AI can’t replicate: sleep, stress, life
⏱ 04:00 – What real confidence in your nutrition actually looks like
⏱ 09:20 – A real athlete case study: when a flashy AI plan under-fuelled a seasoned triathlete
⏱ 13:40 – The danger of normalising under-fuelling and feeling flat
⏱ 17:30 – Why education, not automation, is the real game-changer
⏱ 19:45 – How to use AI as a tool – not a crutch
⏱ 22:00 – The real reason the Triathlon Nutrition Academy exists
