Being a successful nutritionist requires some great logistics and planning skills, which have often more impact than their actual knowledge in terms of nutrition! Therefore, to shed light on this less documented area of performance nutrition, we surveyed an international group of 62 elite practitioners (from November 2019 to April 2020) and asked them to simply describe what they offered to players, and how things were organized and planned in their context. We focused the questions on match preparation, starting from the meal the night before match day (MD-1) to the post-match meal on match day (MD), and going through MD breakfast, lunch, pre-match meals, snacks, and locker nutrition for both home and away matches. We also quickly taped into supplement use and prescription.
