Hello, esher-ga!
After an lengthy search, these are the names that popped up most often
and appeared to have the most credible background. There are other
nutritionists that have the term "leading" next to their names, but
some turned out to be subjects of controversy so I refrained from
adding their names to the list. Other noteworthy individuals are
scientists who focus on nutritional studies, but they did not seem to
fit the bill in terms of your focus, either.

DR. CHRIS FENN
================
"Dr Chris Fenn. Accredited Nutritionist and Endurance Cyclist. One of
the UK?s leading nutritionists. Specialises in nutrition for
expeditions. Planned the diets for gruelling expeditions to the North
Pole and Everest - including the Everest 40 Expedition which put
Rebecca Stevens MBE (first British woman to climb Everest) on the
summit. She has also climbed Kilimanjaro - twice - and cycled across
the USA from coast to coast.
?In my work as a nutritionist specialising in sports nutrition, I have
designed the diets for the British Olympic cross country and biathlon
ski teams, expeditions to the North Pole and to climb Everest. There
is no doubt that a good vegetarian diet can provide all the essentials
for health as well as plenty of the all important starchy
carbohydrates to fuel working muscles. As an endurance cyclist I put
theory into practise. A vegetarian diet fuelled my latest adventure
when I cycled 3,500 miles across America, from coast to coast, over 4
mountain ranges and through 4 time zones!?
