    ByAmanda Wagner, M.Ed, RDN, LDN November 10, 2025November 10, 2025

    During the off season, your fueling should align with your activities and goals. Emphasizing a variety of colorful vegetables is key, providing a chance to explore new foods and recipes. If taking an extended break, reduce carbohydrate intake carefully while maintaining functional energy levels. For those not stopping, adapt your nutrition based on weekly activity levels. Consulting a dietitian is recommended for safe body composition changes. For personalized guidance, reach out to Amanda Wagner Nutrition, which accepts various insurance options.
