Grant Tinsley, PhD

I am an Associate Professor and Director of the Energy Balance & Body Composition Laboratory at Texas Tech University. I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, with distinction (CSCS,*D), and a Certified Sports Nutritionist (CISSN). 

My lab group focuses on the impact of nutrition, exercise, and supplementation on human body composition, exercise performance, and health. Two of our particular research interests are evaluating intermittent fasting programs in active individuals and examining body composition assessment methodology, including validity and reliability testing of novel assessment techniques.

Although the majority of my work is associated with my professorship, I also provide freelance consulting services. 

I enjoy lifting weights in my shop/garage gym, reading, and spending time with my family.
