It’s hard to judge the nutritionist without insight into the objectives and resources she was given.

Nutritionists are there to make recommendations; they usually don’t have license to say, “this is what you’re eating, deal with it.”

Without a goal set by S&C to bulk players up, the nutritionist is really just there to make sure guys don’t get fat, which hasn’t seemed to be an issue since the new one joined.  Athletes burning the calories these guys burn can eat a lot of takeout and not get fat.  They’ll be consuming enough calories that the micros will take care of themselves.  It’s all macros and there’s a good chance they’re automatically getting enough protein and carbs to fuel their bodies.  If they don’t have a strength goal set by the coaches or S&C, there’s nothing for the nutritionist to target.  We don’t have guys who need to cut weight, so what is there for her to do?  Just maintaining player weight might be the objective she was given.

There’s also the possibility that on a bad team with players who weren’t expected to be around the following season, the staff gave up on caring how the players ate or worked out.  If there’s no light at the end of the tunnel and you’re not bringing these guys back, why care?  It’ll be more interesting to see if things change in this area with the new guys.
