Uri Carlson is the registered dietitian who turns fuelling theory into something a rider will actually do. Her work — and her contribution to the Roadman under- versus optimal- versus over-fuelling experiment — lands on the same practical point the pros have learned the hard way: most amateurs under-fuel their training and then wonder why the quality and recovery aren't there. She's pragmatic about real food versus engineered products, and clear that the best fuelling plan is the one you'll repeat, not the most elaborate one on paper.
The major positions Carlson is known for in cycling and endurance sport.
