Evidence first
Every recommendation is graded A to D by the strength of its evidence. Where research is uncertain, I'll tell you.
About Mike
Coach. Lifter. Teacher.
I'm Mike Goodwin, a performance nutrition coach and powerlifter. I help strength, physique and performance athletes fuel their training with nutrition that's grounded in evidence and simple enough to follow.
My story
Science that changes what you do
I'm a London native, now based in Mallorca, coaching athletes online in the UK and worldwide.
I studied sport science, then completed an MSc in Sports Nutrition. Alongside that, I've spent years under the bar as a powerlifter, so I know first-hand what heavy training asks of your recovery, your appetite and your week.
There's no shortage of nutrition advice for athletes. Much of it is confident, and much of it isn't backed by good evidence. Goodwin Nutrition exists to close that gap: clear targets built around your training, with every recommendation graded by how strong the research actually is.
I built the Goodwin Nutrition app so that coaching doesn't stop at a PDF. Your plan, your logging and your progress live in one place, and I use your real data to adjust your targets.

Coaching philosophy
How I coach
Fuel the training
Your targets follow your training, with more carbohydrate when you need it and less when you don't.
Simple to follow
Up to three priorities a day. A plan you can actually stick to beats a perfect one you can't.
Decisions from data
Adjustments come from your logged nutrition, training, sleep and trends, not guesswork.
