LUCY BURROWS - SPORTS DIETITIAN
Kia ora! I’m Lucy, a Sports Dietitian at The Performance Pantry based in the sunny Hawkes Bay! I work with local and national active people in person and online, offer talks and other consultancy services.
Competing at CrossFit Nationals
I bring over 10 years of clinical nutrition experience alongside my own background in elite sport, having competed in gymnastics, hockey, and now CrossFit, and half Ironman triathlon. From an early age, I saw firsthand how nutrition shapes not just performance but overall health and well-being. Now, I feel privileged to share this knowledge with clients - supporting you to achieve your goals and build lasting habits that extend far beyond any single event or appointment.
My Qualifications:
NZ Registered Dietitian with prescribing status
Sports Dietitian - SDA (provisional)
ISAK I Anthropometrist
Masters of Dietetics
Bachelor of Applied Science - Sports Nutrition
I’m a Specialist Dietitian with a background spanning paediatrics, GP clinics, mental health, and sport, so I enjoy working with people of all ages and goals. Whether you’re a first-time runner, an elite athlete chasing 1% gains, or needing support with REDs or eating concerns, my approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based—because we eat food, not macros!
I love helping people cut through nutrition myths, build confidence in their own choices, and create habits that last well beyond our sessions. I’ve worked with athletes across gymnastics, swimming, triathlon, cricket, and rugby, and I have a special interest in supporting active females through pregnancy and postpartum.
As a mum of two, I understand the juggle of family, work, and training. Outside of work you’ll find me at the beach, exploring nature, walking my dogs, training at CrossFit, or enjoying time with whānau and friends in the Bay.
