Craig Watson Sports Nutrition

YOU WON’T ALWAYS FEEL LIKE TRAINING. 💪

You won't always feel motivated.
You won't always have the energy.
You won't always feel like showing up.

And that's okay. Progress comes from consistency, not motivation.

Build the habits.
Trust the process.
Keep showing up.

One workout. One choice. One day at a time.

Consistency beats perfection. Every time. 🔥

Creatine Explained: What It Does and Who Is it For?

Creatine is one of those supplements that nearly everyone has heard of, but not everyone fully understands and it is also one which my opinion of has changed a lot over the years doing this job.

Some people think it is only for bodybuilders. Others worry it will make them bulky, cause water retention or somehow be “bad for them”. Then there are people who have a tub in the cupboard but have no real idea whether they should actually be taking it.

My client Nicola just sent me the most amazing testimonial. I wanted to share the whole thing with you...

Congratulations Nicola, what an achievement! 💪

"I signed up for the Alpe d'Huez triathlon last year, after I got carried away with FOMO when one of my friends signed up 😂 I hadn't intended doing anything big this year. However I wanted to give myself the best chance possible so contacted Craig about sorting out my eating habits.

The race consists of a 2.2k swim in a lake, a 118km bike with 3200mtrs of positive ascent finishing up at the top of the Alpe d'Huez 21 bends, then 3 run loops of a 6.4km route at elevation.

Craig analysed my eating and hydration habits and set me goals as well as trackers to make sure I was hitting these. Who doesn't love a green tick or a well done! 🤣 We worked together for a good few months before the event, making sure I was fuelling effectively and recovering well also. Having to be accountable to someone definitely works for me.

Race day went as well as I could have hoped. We had a strategy for my nutrition throughout the day and it worked well, sticking to carb targets every hour. Hydration wise I did as well as I could have in the scorching temps. But my aim was always just to finish and while it wasn't pretty I did it, in just over 12 hours. Definitely one of the hardest events I have done to date.

I learned a lot from Craig, sometimes you think you know what you should be doing but it takes someone actually sitting you down and telling you what to do. It's how I've always worked best, just doing what I'm told haha. But Craig definitely helped me get over that finish line."

Amazing client achievement! 💪

What a weekend for Kelly! On Saturday, she completed the Tay Fitness Run Like L series of 10K races, completing the Callander 10K, Hidden Glen 10K, Thornhill 10K, Mhor 84 10K and Killin 10K, earning her very special Run Like L medal. 🥇

And the reason behind it makes this achievement even more meaningful. Kelly has been raising money for Beatson Cancer Charity and Strathcarron Hospice in memory of her mum. ❤️

Then, as if five 10Ks weren’t enough, on Sunday she took part in the Bun Run Half Marathon in Glasgow and smashed another challenge! 👏🔥

So incredibly proud of you, Kelly. What an amazing way to honour your mum and raise money for two fantastic causes.

How does my body store body fat? A simple guide...

Fat gets talked about A LOT in society, whether it is over a coffee at work, in the gym, on social media, it is everywhere, usually in a way that makes it sound like it’s lurking in the shadows waiting to ruin your progress.

In reality, if you understand what it is and how it can be managed then it can make it easier to lose.

If you could ask a sports nutritionist like me ONE question… what would it be? 👇

🥗 “What should I actually be eating to reach my goal?”
💪 “How much protein do I really need?”
⚡ “Why do I feel shattered despite training hard?”
🔥 “How do I lose body fat without living on a diet?”
🏋️ “What should I eat before or after training?”
💊 “Are supplements actually worth taking?”

Because there's no such thing as a silly question.

With a solid foundation in nutrition science and years of experience in sports nutrition, I ensure that your dietary plans are not only scientifically sound but also practical and tailored to your individual needs.

🏋️‍♂️ Why do most people plateau in gym training? (And what you should do differently)

There’s a pattern I see over and over again. People don’t plateau because they lack the effort, they plateau because they lack structure.

They train hard
They sweat
They put their sessions on Strava (if it’s not on Strava, it didn’t happen!)

But nothing seems to move forward. Strength progress stalls, body composition doesn’t change anymore, performance levels off, injuries start creeping in and ultimately they end up either getting bored with or put off training altogether as a result...
