What's actually in my kitchen and gym bag
Not a "best of" listicle. Just what I actually use, week over week, and why. If something's here, it earned it — and yes, some of these are affiliate links.
Momentous
Protein and creatine, mainly. I switched to Momentous because it's NSF Certified for Sport — one less thing to think about when I'm already managing a training log, a full-time job, and everything else. Nothing exotic, just the basics done right.
- Whey or plant protein, daily
- Creatine monohydrate, daily
- Electrolytes on long run days
Honey Stinger
The gels and chews I actually carry on long runs. Real, simple ingredients, and they don't sit heavy at mile 15 the way some do — that matters more than flavor variety when you're four gels deep into an 18-miler.
- Energy gels — long run days
- Waffles — pre-run fuel
Fit Butters
The nut butter that actually lives in my kitchen — simple ingredients, good protein-to-sugar ratio, works as a snack or stirred into oats before a morning run.
