The nutrition each Warfighter needs to achieve or maintain optimal weight for performance depends on his or her age, gender, job duties, activity level, and environment. Under-fueling or over-fueling can be detrimental to your mission readiness and success. Registered Dietitians (RD) and Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) are food-and-nutrition experts who can help take your performance to the next level. RDs and RDNs who are board- certified specialists in sports dietetics (CSSD) are especially useful for performance-focused counseling and meal planning. Look for an RD or RDN at your installation’s nutrition clinic, wellness or health-promotion department, or general-medicine clinic.
