Confused about what to eat? We provide the information. YOU decide what you eat. ZERO food restrictions!

The Food Cruncher helped me with my protein intake and all my bloating has disappeared. I've stopped the mass gainer shakes and spread my protein intake more evenly throughout the day.

Sam

I was following the keto diet. Since joining The Food Cruncher, I doubled my carbohydrates and now I don't need a sleep in the middle of the day! I also really learnt why diets don't work.

Since joining The Food Cruncher, I have been shocked at what I am actually eating! The Food Cruncher taught me the truth about food.

Bianca

The Food Cruncher made me think about what I was actually eating. Learning to eat consciously is how you will improve your health, forever.

      Young Athletes' Sport Nutrition Plan

      The Food Cruncher has designed evidence-based sport nutrition guidelines for young athletes aged 12-18 years. Learn how to work out your own nutrition requirements with our Young Athletes' Sport Nutrition Plan.

      I've struggled to get my kids to understand the lack of nutritional value in all the processed foods they seem to favour so what you've done is really valuable as my teenage son could see for himself things he was short on (like fibre) and was more inclined to make nutritious choices. My son did the carbohydrate learning module and worked out his carb requirements which was really helpful. He was really into logging his food via Cronometer too

            Why a Sport Nutrition Plan

            • Lots of young athletes do not know what they should be eating to improve their health and sporting performance.
            • Dietitians and nutritionists can be expensive, so The Food Cruncher developed this Sport Nutrition Plan to provide affordable evidence-based nutrition guidelines to as many people as possible.
            • You can work out your own individual nutrition (carbohydrate, protein, fat) requirements using our built-in calculators.
