Derek Langston

Derek Langston is a sports dietitian and former collegiate wrestler who got into nutrition because he spent too many seasons cutting weight on nothing but egg whites and rice cakes. Based in Boston, he works with weekend warriors, gym regulars, and anyone who wants to eat for performance without treating food like medicine. Tom's contribution to Protein Workshop is the meal prep playbook: systems for batch cooking that keep food interesting across five days instead of becoming progressively sadder with each reheated container.
