Evening Snacking: Hunger, Habits & Hormones (for Rugby Players)

Do you actually want a snack… or is something else going on?In this episode, I break down evening snacking for rugby players — when it’s absolutely fine, when it might be a sign that something’s off, and how to tell the difference. I talk you through the five questions I ask myself (and my clients) when the inner fridge rummager appears, including whether you’re fuelling enough during the day, how balanced your meals really are, and how stress, boredom, and emotions can drive snacking.I also cover how your menstrual cycle can impact hunger and cravings, and why sometimes eating more is actually the right call. This is practical, realistic nutrition advice with zero judgement — just better awareness, better fuelling, and better performance on and off the pitch.
