Clark has written several best selling sports nutrition books including “Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook” (Human Kinetics, 2008), “Food Guide for Marathoners: Tips for Everyday Champions” (Meyer & Meyer, 2007) and “Cyclist’s Food Guide: Fueling for the Distance” (Sports Nutrition Publishing, 2005), co-authored with Jenny Hegmann.

A fellow of the American Dietetic Association (ADA), Clark is the recipient of its Media Excellence Award, an active member of ADA’s practice group of sports nutritionists (SCAN), and recipient of SCAN’s Honor Award for excellence in practice. Clark is also a fellow in the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and recipient of the Honor Award from ACSM’s New England Chapter.
