What is a footballers perfect diet?

Answer 1

You Cant say what is a football players diet because every person is going to have a different diet. A safety for instance wont have the diet of a linebacker. But we can get into general ideas. For offensive and defensive limeman. Your motto should be steaks and shakes. Pack on the pounds but pack on the good pounds. Get your protein in a 24 oz steak get your calories with a giant milkshake. Use that fat as energy to burn when your doing your clean and jerks and your snatches. Carbs are just as important but there really isn't much you need to know. Just eat them. Prefferably complex carbs obviously. Wheat pasta, whole grains brown rice. Good stuff. Now a little more of a complex position. Would be a linebacker. Linebackers cant just put on muscle, they gotta have quick muscle. Be lean and quick to be successful. But there is pretty much a basic routine you can follow. A weekly routine. Breaking all this up daily a linebacker should have the following every week. A loaf of bread, of bag of bagels, a box of cereal, 1-2 gallons of milk, 7 gallons of water(athletes should always have a gallon of water a day), 1-3 pounds of steak, 2-4 pounds of chicken, 10 cups of quinoa(extremely healthy grain very high in fiber and protein can be found at health food stores), if you cant get quinoa you should substitute brown rice for it. Along with all of this an athlete NEEDS to take their essential vitamins twice a day. People have no idea how important vitamins are but not having one essential vitamins can hault 1000 processes in your body. For like snacks football players should all have nuts and fruits. If a linebacker breaks that up evenly he will have an outstanding physique.

Answer 2

Lots of protein and carbohydrates

A lot of the training is intensive and endurance based as footballers need to be able to run around the pitch for potentially the whole 90 minute match and the work often involves short bursts of energy.

This means complex carbohydrates and good fats for slow release energy and protein which could include protein shakes immediately after workout or training session for muscle strength and power.

Answer 3

Fiber. Protein. Calcium.

The reason for these main things is that football players burn a lot of calories and they are gaining muscle by pushing and tackling people in the games and at practice and they are gaining muscle by the football workout. Protein will help gain muscle by atleast 2x more. The fiber is gonna flush out all the waste in your body like the cookie or soda you just consumed. Then all players should have calcium wether its ice cream or chocolate milk. All of this will make the best football player, by making you more healthy.

I did this in highschool and i lost all kinda weight and gained muscle.

The above answer should apply to all football players, but if your a lineman you have to keep your weight because youll lose your position and itll make u a better lineman. So eat whatever you want!
