Georgina Buckley Dietetics.
Registered Dietitian for 5 years with a background in Sport and Exercise Science.

Georgina played Gaelic Football at a competitive level in Ireland, now she trains across modalities such as Crossfit, Hyrox and running.

Her goal is to educate women on how to fuel adequately, not just for training but for life and their future selves. She uses science backed, reliable information to dispel and challenge the many misleading perceptions around nutrition for all women - not just high level athletes!

For Gee, Women of Steel is a space for women to learn practical steps to find that balance, find self compassion and come away feeling confident in their nutrition. taken in Manchester, United Kingdom by @geedietetics

Eating out and socialising

AS USUAL everyone’s circumstances and experiences relating to food will vary.

When it comes to eating out and socialising around food and drink, I could talk about planning ahead, ‘saving’ calories and so on. However, what I really want to talk about is how valuable it can be to be able to do this with friends and family and truly in enjoy it. For many people (including myself in the past) it can be a source of anxiety.

From working with people and through my own experience, I believe it is about having the proper knowledge and education around nutrition for your day to day and aiming to do things in *moderation* so that you can truly be present and enjoy eating out and socialising when it matters.

I am so passionate about helping people feel more relaxed and confident around their nutrition so that it’s not impacting their headspace more than it needs to be, while still maintaining healthy balance and achieving their goals.

Should you be taking Creatine?

As always, it depends. With nutrition, it’s all about the pyramid of prioritisation. Your most important bases to cover are eating a balanced diet, getting sufficient sleep and keeping well hydrated.

If you have those boxes ticked, some supplements such as Creatine are well worth considering.

Benefits:

* Helps to enhance power output during exercise
* Aids muscle growth and recovery
* Improves brain function
* It’s the most researched supplement in sports nutrition
* It’s cheap!

Some potential negatives (all or most of which usually settle):

* Can cause abdominal discomfort
* Can sometimes result in fluid retention

You don’t have to be a professional athlete to consider taking Creatine. If you are training regularly across any modality, it can likely benefit you.

3-5g of Creatine taken daily consistently is usually sufficient for most people. by @geedietetics

I want to lift heavy, pull like a dog (IYKYK), run fast, jump high, swing smoothly!

BUT none can be done effectively without proper fuel. Soooooo many of us are trying to do it all but not eating sufficiently to fuel it.

It sounds simple but it’s not that easy as there are so many factors that affect our ability to do this. How we have been educated around food, the pressures we put on ourselves to look a certain way, and all the life barriers that get in the way for us like full time work.

If I were to start in one place, it would be to eat smartly around a training session. Start to incorporate a high carbohydrate snack within the hour before training and see how you feel. My favourite is a soreen bar, bagel or banana. by @geedietetics

Carbohydrates – PART 1
From my experience, carbohydrates have often had a bad reputation, especially among women.

Growing up, I was terrified of carbs. Without really understanding why, we were taught to opt for low-carb everything: burgers without buns, courgetti instead of pasta… The perception was that carbs didn’t belong in a healthy diet.

The result? Many women, athletes or not, end up under-fuelling. In active females, this can lead to low energy availability, which increases the risk of injury, disrupts the menstrual cycle, and reduces bone density, among other issues.

Thankfully, the narrative around carbohydrates is starting to shift. Here are a few key things to keep in mind when it comes to including carbs in your diet:

🔹 Carbohydrates should make up around 50% of your total daily energy intake (calories)
🔹 Carbs contain 4 calories per gram, the same as protein. (Fat contains 7 calories per gram.)
🔹 Timing your carbohydrate intake can help optimise exercise performance (more on that later!)
🔹 Carbs can be broken down into two types:

Fast-acting (high GI) – Think of these like paper burning: quick and used up fast.
Slow-acting (low GI) – Like a log burning slowly, these take longer to digest and provide a more sustained energy release.

For everyday eating, it’s recommended that most of your carbs come from LOW GI carb sources. Some good options include:
✔️ Multigrain, granary, rye, seeded or sourdough bread
✔️ Sweet potato, yam, new potatoes with skin, cold boiled potatoes
✔️ Basmati, long grain, or brown rice
✔️ Porridge, muesli, and some low-sugar oat/bran cereals
✔️ Bulgur wheat, barley, couscous, quinoa

Less often, but still importantly, fast acting or HIGH GI carbohydrates are an amazing tool to take on energy quickly to be utilised for performance. Such carbs include:

✔️ Starchy foods such as white bread, pasta, chapattis, potatoes, noodles, rice, and cereals
✔️ Fruit and fruit juice
✔️ Some dairy products such as milk and yogurts
✔️Jelly sweets
✔️Non-diet fizzy drinks or sports drinks

*While the above is more educational content. Remember that not everything you eat has to be justified by having a purpose like exercise. by @geedietetics

ARE YOU FUELING ADEQUATELY? 🍜🔥

Despite studying Sport & Exercise Science and completing a Master’s in Dietetics, it wasn’t until real-life experience that I truly learned I wasn’t fueling properly for my training.

➡️ In July 2023, I tore several ligaments in my ankle. As someone who’s always been active, I went into full PANIC mode.

But that injury became a turning point. I realised that more training and less food doesn’t equal better performance.
Instead, I focused on recovery, adjusted my training, and fuelled intentionally and I came back stronger than ever, and I haven’t looked back since. 💥

There’s so much pressure for both women and men to train at 100% while chasing a certain physique. But in reality, performance and long-term health depend on adequate fueling, not restriction.

💪🏼 We need energy to perform.
💡 We need knowledge to make confident choices.
❤️ We need strong, nourished bodies to carry us through life.

If this is something you’re struggling with, you’re not alone. My mission is to help people feel confident in your nutrition, cut diet culture messaging, and build true autonomy over how you eat and train.

If you have any questions on this topic, just message. I’m always happy to help! ☺️ by @geedietetics
