Nutrition
LSU Performance Nutrition is committed to helping each individual athlete achieve sustained success and reach their full potential on and off the field. We provide leading nutrition education and resources to optimize nutrient quality, quantity, and timing.
Sport performance and health is not defined by a number on a scale. Our goal as performance dietitians is to provide education and resources that teach our athletes to live a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable beyond their time at LSU. We take a whole food first approach to proper nutrition and teach athletes how to fuel their bodies from the grocery store to their plate.
Athletics Performance Nutrition Center
Purpose-built for the unique needs of elite-level athletes. The Performance Nutrition Center is focused on long-term health and a life-long-commitment to the well-being of the student-athlete. It offers high-quality food with thoughtful intent to the customized needs of individual athletes and is staffed by registered dietitians certified in sports performance working hand-in-hand with a leading sports performance chef on location, every day.
Rebecca Moore, Assistant Sport Dietitian
Rebecca Moore works directly with the gymnasts to make sure that their nutrition needs are met for complete success inside and out of the gym.
Moore provides an interactive and innovative approach to educating student-athletes on the importance of the timing, quality and quantity needed to sustain elite-level activity. Moore is an excellent educator on nutrition as she provides both team seminars and individual consultations for the gymnasts.
LSU boasts three “fueling stations” on campus that provide student-athletes the opportunity to eat healthy snacks to maintain peak physical strength throughout each day. The fueling stations are located in the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes, inside the Football Operations Center weight room and in the Tiger Stadium weight room.
