Food is more than just calories and macronutrients. It is one of the highest socio-cultural moments in our lives. Because of the hectic work schedule and other obligations, we forget about it, and we end up eating because we must, not because we love it. A dish tells us a story, and we are committed to emphasize it, promoting a healthy relationship with performance nutrition. At CAPONUTRITION, we only work with athletes, from professionals to amateur and recreational. We firmly believe that sport is an essential piece of a puzzle called well-being. Wether you train for a Sunday ride in Malibu with your friends or for the UFC belt, you are an athlete. Carbohydrates are crucial to fuel performance and recovery is as important as training. Pasta with pesto, when used in the right context, never made anyone gaining weight. Ask Marvin Vettori, who is currently ranked #2 in the UFC middleweight division and holds a record for most significant strikes and most takedowns at 185 lb! Our goal is helping a selected number of athletes who want to optimize their body composition, recovery, and overall performance though evidence-based coaching.

Sometimes I get way too caught up in the minor details and Matteo has helped me improve my body composition while still enjoying the wonderful Italian foods that I like to enjoy. I've also shared my bloodwork and certain markers that I need to focus on and Matteo has provided me with personal recommendations to optimize those levels.

I had the pleasure of working with Matteo Capodaglio as a mentor during my process of moving and living in the United States, specifically in California.
As an Italian nutritionist, his experience, professionalism and passion for the sector have been fundamental to my professional development. He helped me perfect my skills in performance nutrition for athletes, with a focus on combat sports. He is a valid professional, who despite having a lot to give, never expects anything in return.
In addition to being a mentor, Matteo has become a great friend: he is a kind, honest, open to listening and respectful person, with a critical view, but also flexible on work and non-work situations.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional and human guidance.

It’s very rare to find someone with knowledge and charisma that Doctor Matteo has. It’s already easy for me to follow someone who I know is qualified, but it’s even easier to follow instructions from someone who you can tell truly cares about you as a person and the quality of your performance. He truly is part of your team and is not just with you to claim recognition from your victories, but takes it upon himself to see how he could’ve done a better job even if you fall short even if he did his job perfectly. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to optimize their approach to nutrition for any goal.

My journey with Caponutrition has been amazing. Matteo is working at the highest level of human nutrition. His knowledge, personalized approach, and reliable support have redefined my perception of being on a diet.
What sets Matteo apart is not just his expertise but also his ability to make the entire process enjoyable. For the first time, I've found myself embracing and even loving the idea of being on a diet. His strategies are not only effective but also sustainable, making the entire journey a rewarding experience.
Matteo goes beyond the conventional norms of diet coaching; he genuinely understands individual needs and tailors plans that align with both health goals and personal preferences.
I wholeheartedly recommend Caponutrition to anyone seeking not just a diet plan but a holistic and enjoyable approach to a healthier lifestyle.

I worked with Dr. Capodaglio when, despite a highly demanding job as a derivatives trader, I was competing actively in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so I had to conciliate 50 hrs work weeks and 10-15 hrs of training and conditioning weekly.
Dr. Capodaglio help me fuel this lifestyle with nutritious but tasty food choices, minimizing the time required to prep/cook, and also with proper protocols for hydration and meal timing to maximize athletic performance, and also advice to how to minimize the negative effects of the occasional “cheat”, such as work dinners when I of course… indulged in some wine.

Working with Capo has been nothing less than a blessing to my athletic career!
He adapts to my constantly changing needs, easy to get a hold of no matter where I am in the world, genuinely cares about my progress, listens and is VERY good at what he does!
Exceeded my expectations and don’t see myself not working with him!

Working with CapoNutrition has been a wonderful experience! I work full time as a registered dietitian, train BJJ, and coach high school wrestling. While I love everything that I do, it leaves very little time/energy for me to focus on my own nutrition.
Choosing CapoNutrition to trust with my individual nutrition needs was easy. Matteo has an extensive nutritional background and hands-on experience working with world class athletes. He took the time to understand my unique nutrition needs and challenges that I face in improving my athletic output. I could tell he was truly invested in helping me become the best I could be. The ideas and meal plan he sent reflected his passion for tailoring nutrition recommendations for athletic performance.
Everyone can use a little help with their nutrition, even dietitians! With CapoNutrition you know you're getting a high quality product that will meet your individual needs. And an added bonus, the meals are incredible.

Matteo at Capo Nutrition is best in class. As a client, it's an incredible experience to work with a proven nutritionist who has such an amazing track record of success with professional athletes at the pinnacle of their respective sports.
Capo Nutrition's consultative approach allows for a truly tailored meal plan that is delicious and surprising. At no point did I ever expect to see pesto pasta as part of my meal plan!
Matteo is knowledgeable, responsive, and personable; he's an overall pleasure to work with and I absolutely recommend working with Capo Nutrition

Dr.Capo is one of the best performance nutritionist I’ve come across. His feedback and insight have drastically improved my performance in sports and overall improve my dietary lifestyle!
Date of experience: July 07, 2023
I have known Dr. Capodaglio for three years, and we have been constantly in touch to discuss traditional Italian recipes that I have been using working as a private chef in New York, the Hamptons, and South Florida. Every time we talk about food, I am amazed by how he can explain the scientific aspect of a dish, breaking it down ingredient by ingredient.
His strong formal education background meets his passion for food and tradition, making him a unique interpreter of Italian performance nutrition in the US.
If you want to learn about the Italian culinary heritage and its compatibility with a healthy lifestyle, CAPONUTRITION will not disappoint your expectations!

When it comes to performance nutrition, Dr. Capo is the best. His coaching and program helped me perform better in jiu jitsu and fitness. Cutting weight with him is easy and I do not feel out of energy when I train during camps. He also made sure some of my other health issues are accounted for when he planned my program. Go to him if you want to look good, feel satiated and eat well all at the same time. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Capo completely revolutionized my weight cutting experience. I had previously been told that I could not make my current weight. But with Dr. Capo's tailor made plan I have healthily made weight, with more energy than ever for the last two years.

If there’s a #1 in the nutrition field, this is Matteo Capodaglio. An absolute legend. Being a bond trader for a bank ain’t easy, doing that while fighting and training twice a day ain’t easy at all…but it just becomes easier when you have Matteo on your side. His knowledge is simply off the charts. I’ve never been sharper and focused on the trading floor nor in the ring since I’ve partnered up with him. The trader sitting next to me still has to figure out how can a 72kg, shredded, sleep-deprived guy have been eating pizza after sparring on a Saturday, as a diet. Well, it’s called Capodaglio magic my friend.

I am a professional MMA athlete with experience in promotions as Bellator. I have been working with Dr. Capodaglio for most of my professional career, and I can say from my personal experience that he is the best nutritionist I have ever dealt with. Doctor Capodaglio is an expert and detail-oriented professional, with advanced problem solving skills. My diet is extremely rich and enjoyable, I have never struggled when cutting weight, and my food intake is abundant, I'm never hungry! Dr. Capodaglio's guidance and his ability to adapt to lifestyle changes such as traveling undoubtedly make him one of the best nutritionists in the world in the combat sports field and beyond.

I've been knowing Dr. Capo for about five years because I’m a manager for athletes, and often times I travel to the US. I met his because we share a client, #3 UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori. Throughout this time span, I witnessed Dr. Capo and Caponutrition's growth in America, and I couldn't be happier. He has been helping many of my athletes to achieve their full athletic potential.
Dr. Capo is my number one pick when we talk about performance nutrition.

Amazing sports nutritionist who used science-based, peer-reviewed research to tailor the diets of athletes that he works with. Talking to him you immediately understand that he knows what he is talking about and he is super helpful with giving examples of how to employ his diet plan that he gives you during the day. I have never had so much energy during a weight cut and can’t emphasize enough that I plan to use his lessons that he taught me for many years to come.

I first reached out to Matteo in January, 2022. We connected and began working together immediately. I was impressed with his depth of knowledge and how quick his response time was. Subtle changes at first and constantly adding and changing the plan as needed. Everything in the plan is there for a purpose, completely customized to my specific training regimen and upcoming competitions with constant check ins and open lines of communication. Matteo and I have continued to build a solid relationship and are on track for big things this season. As a dedicated athlete who strives to stay on task year round, Matteo is the perfect coach.

After some failed attempts to lose weight I became a client of Dr. Capodaglio in 2020. The results were astonishing from the beginning: not only I lost weight, but I also learned how to eat healthy and take care of my body.
His scientific approach to nutrition separtes him from the competition. In the past I followed traditional diets, where losing weight equals starving and often gaining it back.. with interests.
Instead, Dr Capodaglio designs tailored nutrition plans with plenty of food (including carbohydrates!) and specific recipes for one own's goals. Even when I was losing weight I always felt full and energized after a meal from the plan he crafted for me. He also taught me which supplements really work and which one are only expensive products with no real impact over people's nutritional needs.
My friends couldn't believe that I was losing so much weight and eating that amount of food every meal!
