Finding Joy in Fitness and in Fueling with Coach and Runner Amanda Katz

Welcome to Episode 97 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring runner, coach, and native New Yorker, Amanda Katz.Amanda identifies as a body neutral strength and run coach, and believes that all bodies deserve a fitness experience without punishment, guilt, or shame. Amen to that.I’m a big fan of Amanda's positive, often hilarious fueling and fitness messages on social media and on her own show, Between Two Coaches. I'm also grateful for her frequent attacks on the toxic fitness, health and wellness culture that is pretty much unavoidable in today's world.  Amanda and I discuss a wide range of topics and explore many tangents, including:What life was like growing up in QueensHer relationship with food and movement when she was youngHow she navigated a variety of different eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors as a young adultWhat nutrition looks like now that she is “in recovery,” including some of her favorite sports nutrition products, cuisines, and mealsHer journey to becoming a runner and coach Her bagel shop order and why cottage cheese needs to be left aloneHow she fuels herself to stay energized and adequately nourished during her long days of coaching, especially while marathon training herselfFoods and products that you’ll find in her backpack as a fitness professionalRandom things that make her piss boil (nutrition edition)And so much more!I hope you enjoy learning all about Amanda and hearing her nutrition story. Links & Announcements:Amanda’s website and InstagramWatch this episode on my YouTube page Check out my free and for-purchase offeringsSign up for my email list to download my FREE fueling before exercise guideFill out a new client inquiry form if you’re interested in 1:1 nutrition coachingShop using my affiliate sports nutrition discount codes for Momentous (EATFORENDURANCE15) and for Skratch (EATFORENDURANCE20)Join my Patreon community to support the pod while getting free merch, special discounts, and other perksPlease subscribe or follow the show and rate/review it wherever you listenGet in touch: [email protected] Credit: Joseph McDadeDisclaimer – all information provided is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is in no way meant to replace individual medical and nutrition recommendationsWant to get in touch?
