Kaitlyn McNally, MS, RD, CDN

Registered Dietitian Nutrition Coach

I am Kaitlyn McNally, a Registered Dietitian located in Lawrence, Kansas.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics from Michigan State University and completed the dietetic internship and Masters of Science Degree in Nutrition from University at Buffalo. I am an avid runner, running multiple half-marathons and have recently began my journey as a triathlete.

Exercising and staying active has always been a part of my life. However, it wasn’t until graduate school, experiencing working with collegiate athletes, and striving to be a better athlete myself, that the interest of sports nutrition truly began. From this, I saw a need for youth and teen athletes and decided to focus on providing nutrition education and sports nutrition resources to this population.

My nutrition philosophy: I believe that flexibility and planning is the key to success. Parents of youth athletes are very busy and providing simple meal and snack ideas can go a long way. Each athlete will have specific likes, dislikes and needs so it is important to offer personalized nutrition education based on this and their performance goals.
