Each had a sporting background, bringing personal understanding of athletes&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its foundation in 2014, INDYA has continually developed its approach: helping athletes understand nutrition&#8217;s importance and enjoy the process rather than view \u201cdiet\u201d negatively. Technology supports this work. At the time of writing, we had used our own software and app for 4 years, allowing athletes to see their plans, work and progress.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our main aim is to create personalised nutritional plans focused on sports performance, accompanying and guiding athletes throughout the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rosa del Toro, one of INDYA&#8217;s nutritionists, explains the value of nutritional planning in this interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontopro.es\/v\/valencia\/nutricionista-deportivo#pro-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prontopro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getindya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/asesoramiento-nutricional-03-1-2.png\" alt=\"Sports nutritional planning illustration\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why seek advice from a sports nutrition<\/strong> <strong>professional?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, we get to know the athlete and understand their body and life. Then we design a personalised plan with recipes they enjoy, can prepare in the time available, take to work and use to support performance.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We support athletes throughout, adapting to unexpected events, changes in training, injuries or schedules so they can keep progressing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>When should I work with a sports nutritionist, and why?<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Any time can be suitable, especially when setting a sporting challenge: climbing a mountain over three thousand metres, playing in a local league, improving a marathon time or running your first 5 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>It may help if recovery is poor, you are unusually tired, entering competition, stuck at a plateau, pursuing an appropriate pre-season body-composition goal or simply wanting food to match your training.<\/p>\n<p>We also help athletes change dietary approaches, including vegetarianism, veganism, intermittent fasting and ketogenic diets. Professional guidance can make an appropriate transition safer and more effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What types of sports nutrition services do you offer?<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>We work with all levels, from beginners to professionals. At the time, our services were grouped into \u201cAmateur\u201d, \u201cAmapro\u201d and \u201cPro\u201d, according to needs and sporting demands.<\/p>\n<p>An Amateur typically trained 2\u20134 times weekly and wanted nutrition to support progress. An Amapro was an amateur training and competing almost like a professional. A Pro needed weekly nutritional adjustments and more frequent direct support because training and competition demands changed continually.<\/p>\n<p>Online planning could be complemented at our Valencia centre with anthropometry, basal metabolic rate testing, fuel utilisation testing, Fat Max testing and cooking workshops, among other services.<\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":5034,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} --><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getindya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/asesoramiento-nutricional-test-IND-2.png\" alt=\"Nutrition assessment illustration\" width=\"1080\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How long does adapting to a sports eating plan take, and what helps?<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Everyone differs.
