Ryan is a Chicago-based nutritionist who specialized in nutrition for endurance athletes. She has worked with elite cyclists, triathletes, several professional sports organizations and people who want to make smarter choices about nutrition.
In her latest book — Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes — Ryan describes nutrition as part art and part science. What's right for one person, may not be suitable for someone else. Yet there are certain basic principles people should follow.
"Knowing how much to eat — and when to eat it — is just as important as knowing what to eat," she writes.
Ryan runs nutrition programs such as de-stressing your diet, nutrition for the unique needs of women and managing your weight for a lifetime.
