Nutrition is a big part of my success right now.

Davis-Woodhall:Nutrition is a big part of my success right now.

Hunter and I, we stick to steak, sweet potatoes and whatever greens we have on deck.

But my favorite meal is pasta, and I eat that the day before competition.

And I mean, of course it’s Celsius in the morning.

We gotta get the energy flowing.

EatingWell:Why partner with Celsius?

Davis-Woodhall:We were drinking Celsius before the partnership even happened.

It came organically, and I’m a big believer in healthy energy drinks.

I feel like Celsius fits our vibe and fits our energyno pun intended.

I really respect their way of supporting their athletes and supporting their ambassadors.

EatingWell:Do you have any favorite snacks that you always have on hand?

Davis-Woodhall:Usually I have some Sour Strips in my track bag.

I literally brought 20 of them to Paris with me so I wouldn’t run out.

EatingWell:Walk us through your morning: whats your routine that you stick by?

Davis-Woodhall:For a competition, it’s a little bit different than being at home.

Then we’ll do the makeup, we’ll do the hair, get dressed and head out.

It’s pretty simple.

EatingWell:How do you like your coffee?

Davis-Woodhall:It depends on the location.

Either I’m doing a straight espresso, or from Starbucks, I’ll get a vanilla latte.

It is honestly my favorite.

Davis-Woodhall:I would probably win a gold medal in procrastination.

I am not the best you’re gonna wanna do this on time person.

I will wait an hour before to do it or the day of.

EatingWell:Do you have a least favorite food?

What is it and why?

Davis-Woodhall:I’m so picky with certain things.

I definitely don’t like squash or zucchini.

None of those fancier vegetables.

I don’t like tomatoes, but I do like a caprese salad.

I don’t like them on my sandwich or my burgers or anything else.

It has to be red and hard, not that soft and mushy tomato.

I can’t get behind that one at all.

EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?

So as an ingredient punch in, eating well means no seed oils, no processed foods.

Those cause a lot of inflammation for me.
