Registered dietitians you need to follow on Instagram

These RD's and runners are great Instagram follows for healthy and fun recipes to fuel your miles

Good nutrition advice is hard to come by, but a registered dietitian is a good place to start. Making an appointment is the best way to get personalized advice, but if you’re merely looking for some nutrition inspiration, their social media pages are a good place to start.

Below are dietitians who are also runners and their blogs and Insta feeds are filled with recipe ideas to get you through the winter.
