What is sports Nutrition?
Sports nutrition is planning what, how much and when you eat so that you meet the energy and nutrient demands of exercise and support performance and recovery. The balance of carbohydrate, protein and fat, meal timing, fluid and electrolyte intake and, where justified, supplements are tailored to the person. It suits everyone from recreational exercisers to professional athletes. For athletes at risk of disordered eating, follow-up by a team including a doctor and psychologist is important.
How is sports Nutrition done?
- First consultation: training schedule, goals and health history
- Body composition analysis and review of blood tests if needed
- A personalised eating and hydration plan
- Updating the plan for training blocks and competition periods
- Regular follow-up
Who is sports Nutrition suitable for?
- People who want to build muscle mass
- Endurance athletes wanting better performance and recovery
- Weight management in weight-class sports
- Anyone wanting reliable information about supplements
Aftercare: what to watch out for
- Pay attention to the timing of meals before and after training.
- Drink enough fluid through the day; discuss electrolyte needs for long sessions with your dietitian.
- Use supplements only after an assessment of need and safety.
- Tell your dietitian or doctor about dizziness, palpitations, missed periods or rapid weight loss.
Possible side effects and risks
- Low energy, fatigue and reduced performance with overly restrictive plans
- Side effects and the risk of a failed doping test from unregulated supplements
- Triggering or worsening disordered eating if weight targets are pushed too hard
Are there alternatives?
General healthy eating advice is often enough for people doing light to moderate exercise. People with chronic illnesses should plan their diet together with their doctor.
What affects the cost of sports nutrition?
The cost of sports nutrition depends on factors such as how often you are followed up and the length of the programme; body composition measurement methods; online or face-to-face follow-up, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.

- Check whether the doctor or clinic staff speak English, or bring a translator for the consultation.
- Plan enough time for check-ups after the procedure before your return flight.
- Keep copies of your X-rays, reports and the materials used (for example the implant brand) for your dentist or doctor at home.
- In an emergency in Turkey, call 112 (free, 24/7). For poisoning, the National Poison Information Centre is 114.
Frequently asked questions
How much does sports nutrition cost in Turkey?
The cost of sports nutrition depends on factors such as how often you are followed up and the length of the programme; body composition measurement methods; online or face-to-face follow-up, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.
Who is the best doctor for sports nutrition?
There is no single “best” doctor for everyone. The right doctor for you is experienced in sports nutrition, easy to reach, and explains the options clearly. Check whether the doctor lists this treatment on their profile, their specialty (dietitian), the overall picture of patient reviews and the clinic’s location, and ask for a clear written treatment plan, timeline and cost at the first consultation. For major treatments you have the right to a second opinion. “En İyi Hekim” (Turkish for “best doctor”) is our brand name: we do not rank doctors as “best” and rankings cannot be bought.
How do I find a dietitian for sports nutrition?
On each profile you can see reviews, the clinic address and available times, and send a free appointment request through our site.
How long does sports nutrition take?
The first consultation usually takes 45–60 minutes. Number of visits: Follow-up every 2–4 weeks.
Do I need protein powder to build muscle?
No. Protein needs can usually be met with food; powders are convenient but not essential.
What should I eat before training?
A light, easily digested meal with carbohydrate and some protein a few hours before training is usually recommended; details depend on the type of session.
Are supplements sold in Turkey safe for tested athletes?
Contamination with banned substances is possible with any supplement. Competitive athletes should choose independently batch-tested products and check with their dietitian or sports physician.
