The importance of eating right in modern sport

I still chuckle at the story of the (All-Ireland-winning) inter-county team management who decided to spring surprise car inspections on players rolling into training, writes Michael Moynihan.

They discovered McDonald’s burger boxes, biscuit wrappers and empty fizzy drink bottles as a result.

No wonder companies like Nutritics do so well: that’s a nutrition analytics business which analyses what people are eating, at a basic level, and make recommendations to optimise performance, and so forth.
