Hi, I'm Scott Baptie
Welcome to Food For Fitness
Let’s get one thing straight.
I’m not about fad diets, starvation, or eating lettuce leaves while dreaming of pizza.
Food For Fitness is where you come to sort your health and nutrition without losing your mind (or your love of good food).
Think high-protein recipes, science-backed advice, and a bit of banter to keep things interesting.
Who Am I? (About Scott Baptie)
I’m Scott Baptie, a nutritionist, high-protein recipe creator, and best-selling author who helps busy people eat better without the stress of extreme diets or confusing nutrition plans.
With an MSc in Applied Sports Nutrition, I take a science-backed, no-nonsense approach to food, proving that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or boring.
You might have seen my work in:
- The Times, Huffington Post, GQ, The Sun, The Scotsman, The Irish Times, Metro, Business Insider....and many more publications.
- STV, BBC Scotland, and Bauer Radio
- Or heard me chatting on BBC Radio Scotland about food, fitness, and why no one actually enjoys kale smoothies
Oh, and in a previous life (before kids and real-world responsibilities), I was even on the cover of Men’s Fitness.
These days, my workouts mostly involve chasing small humans around the house and trying to eat my dinner before it mysteriously disappears.
Why Trust Me?
Two-Time Sunday Times Best-Selling Author: I’ve written The Ultimate High Protein Handbook and The Everyday High Protein Handbook, both are packed with 80+ easy, delicious, high-protein recipes that make healthy eating effortless.
Over 500,000 followers: I share real, practical nutrition advice and simple, tasty recipes across social media.
Science-Backed, No-Nonsense Advice: No fads, no fluff, just practical nutrition tips that actually work.
My Beliefs
✅ Food Should Be Delicious, Not a Punishment
If it’s bland, it’s banned. I’m all about creating meals that make you want seconds (and thirds, if you’re quick).
✅ Diets That Stick Don’t Suck
Forget extreme, unsustainable plans. I focus on small, realistic changes that actually last (like swapping half your chocolate for… well, slightly less chocolate).
✅ Keep It Real
No detoxes, no nonsense. Just honest, science-backed nutrition advice that makes healthy eating easy.
