Sports Dietitians Australia Factsheets
Welcome to the Sports Dietitians Australia factsheets! We encourage you to use the factsheets to further your understanding of these specific areas of sports nutrition but please note that the information they contain is general in nature. We all have different physical needs and attributes. This means that while there are general principles, the key to sports nutrition is that it is very individual in nature. For this reason, not all factsheets are publicly available and are accessible only to members. For support that is specific to your activity needs and health and stage of life requirements, please reach out to an Accredited Sports Dietitian.
Almonds provide a wide range of nutrients that help to keep the body healthy for sport. Almonds are a source of protein, healthy monounsaturated fats and fibre. They also contain vitamin E (an
important antioxidant) as well as other key vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous and riboflavin (vitamin B2). A 30g handful per day will help meet
essential nutrient needs.
