What do athletes eat?

Answer 1

Athletes eat different types of food at different stages of training. They focus on two main sport nutrients, how much food the athlete is eating and how much quantity (the type of food group such as fat or protein. Nutrients are eaten at certain times , mostly before and after the workout, these help the muscle repair and recovery compared to the same nutrients consuming the during other times of the day . For example, studies shows that protein is better for muscle growth than when it is taken after the workout. And when you take out carbohydrate after the exercise, the carbohydrate is absorbed more quickly by your muscles than it would be at other times.

Answer 2

Athletes eat differently depending on the type of sport they participate in. For example a marathon runner has a significantly different diet than a weight lifter. However all athletes (as well as all humans) should eat a diet with lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and little "junk food". This ensures that the athlete is getting all the essential vitamins that he or she needs to be as healthy as possible.

Answer 3

• Depending what type of athlete they are, they may need more protein for muscle mass or more carbs for cardio workouts. The athletic workouts vary, so the diets have to change also, so each specific athlete gets what they need to get better at what they do.
