Ep. 97: Athlete Nutrition Profile - Runner and Coach Amanda Katz


Eat for Endurance Podcast with runner and coach Amanda Katz

In Episode 97 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, I sit down with runner, coach, and native New Yorker, Amanda Katz.


Amanda identifies as a body neutral strength and run coach, and believes that all bodies deserve a fitness experience without punishment, guilt, or shame. Amen to that.


I’m a big fan of Amanda's positive, often hilarious fueling and fitness messages on social media and on her own show, Between Two Coaches. I'm also grateful for her frequent attacks on the toxic fitness, health and wellness culture that is pretty much unavoidable in today's world. 


Amanda and I discuss a wide range of topics and explore many tangents, including:


  • What life was like growing up in Queens

  • Her relationship with food and movement when she was young

  • How she navigated a variety of different eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors as a young adult

  • What nutrition looks like now that she is “in recovery,” including some of her favorite sports nutrition products, cuisines, and meals

  • Her journey to becoming a runner and coach 

  • Her bagel shop order and why cottage cheese needs to be left alone

  • How she fuels herself to stay energized and adequately nourished during her long days of coaching, especially while marathon training herself

  • Foods and products that you’ll find in her backpack as a full-time fitness professional

  • Random things that make her piss boil (nutrition edition), a spin on one of her popular IG series

  • And so much more!


I hope you enjoy learning all about Amanda and hearing her nutrition story.
