At Clif Bar & Company, we understand that a solid nutrition plan isn’t just important for elite athletes. Eating with purpose
is essential for all active people trying to feel their best.
INTRODUCING THE ACTIVE NUTRITION GUIDE We’re proud to introduce the Active Nutrition Guide, a comprehensive resource for
nutrition professionals like you who work with active individuals. This new resource
provides evidence- based recommendations, step-by-step guidance to customize nutrition
plans for active occasions, and detailed case studies that bring it all to life.
What is it?The Active Nutrition Guide applies the concept of periodization – what to eat and when,
based on the intensity, frequency and duration of training – to help you provide active
clients with recommendations to eat in a way that helps them achieve their goals.

Who wrote it?The Active Nutrition Guide was authored by five internationally recognized experts in sports nutrition who have collectively
published hundreds of peer-reviewed sports nutrition-focused research papers; led and participated in various sports
nutrition-related editorial and professional boards; and provided nutrition guidance and practical training tools for various
athletes from collegiate and professional level:
How do I use it?The Active Nutrition Guide is accompanied by an editable
workbook that walks you through the concepts and calculations,
as well as a series of modules that provide sport-specific nutrition
recommendations and real-world tips from athletes. Currently,
modules are available for running, soccer and cycling, with
more to come.
