A good diet does not make an average athlete great, but a poor diet can make a great athlete average.

What is a Calorie?
A calorie/kcal is a measurement of energy:
Determine Resting Metabolic Rate. (RMR) Figure Out Daily Activity Level. Calculate the amount of calories burned during Purposeful Exercise. Determine Total Calorie Requirement.

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates (CHO)
Preferred source of energy for the muscles and brain. The easiest way to increase carbohydrates is to add
This is especially detrimental to athletes, who need the continual source of carbohydrate to fuel their exercise. Carbohydrates are crucial, because they are our bodys preferred energy source The primary role of carbohydrates is to provide the body with energy (in the form of blood sugar and muscle glycogen) The majority of our diet should be carbohydrates. A higher percent of carbohydrates are required for athletes who train exhaustively on successive days, and for athletes involved in endurance training. For a young athlete, the majority of their diet should consist of carbohydrates (a minimum of 50% of the calories they consume) however they also need to consume a bit more protein for body growth and activity The key is to consume wholegrain carbohydrates most of the time, the ones with fibre like whole wheat breads and cereals, brown rice, and to limit sweets and extra sugars and choose low fat foods more often. (ie. Aim for 6g sugar/serving of cereal, ~3/g fat/serving of cookies and crackers For a young athlete, the majority of their diet should consist of carbohydrates (a minimum of 50% of the calories they consume)

Glycogen
The stored form of glucose found in liver and the muscles.(You may have about 400500g of glycogen in your muscles. That translated to about 1,500 - 2,000 calories stored in your muscles as glycogen.)
Glycogen storage capacities vary: the fitter you are, the greater your storage capacity. Aerobic training and diet improvements greatly increases the amount of glycogen stored in the muscle!
Athletes should consume complex carbohydrates 2-4 hours before or immediately after an activity to add to/restore energy.

Time (h)
Effects of diet on muscle glycogen content during three successive daily 2-hour bouts of heavy training. Caloric compositions of diets were as follows: low-carbohydrate diet, 40% of total calories from carbohydrate; high-carbohydrate diet, 70% of total calories from carbohydrate.

2. Insoluble Fibre
Wheat bran, whole grains (wheat, rye, etc.) & rice Vegetables and fruits with skins
Slows the absorption of food into the body. Helps reduce cholesterol.
Provides roughage which pulls water into the large intestine. Reduces constipation.
Remember: if are trying to increase the fibre in your diet, do it slowly and increase your fluid consumption. Fibre without Water = CONCRETE!

Proteins
Types of Protein

Complete Protein
contains all essential amino acids.
Eg. Eggs, meat, fish, poultry & milk products.
2. Incomplete Protein is
missing one or more essential amino acids.
Eg. grains, soy, beans, lentils, nuts & seeds.
Complementary Proteins
Mixing of two incomplete proteins to provide all the essential amino acids.
Rice and beans Corn bread and vegetarian chili Whole grain bread and baked beans

Adequate calcium is important throughout the lifecycle. Maximum absorption is 400 500mg Calcium at a time. 1 serving of Milk Products provides 300 350mg of Calcium.

When combined with menstruation and exercise at a high intensity and long duration, there is a greater risk of upsetting the bodies iron status, which may lead to iron deficiency anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia may reduce the bodys ability to provide oxygen to working muscles.

Eating Disorders
Female Athlete Triad
healthy eating recommend we all achieve and maintain a healthy body weight by enjoying regular physical activity and healthy eating. A healthy body weight is different for everyone. There are a range of body weights which are healthy for each person.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a method used to determine ideal body weight ranges for the general population. There are limitations with BMI and your BMI factor may not be so accurate if you are: 1. Pregnant 3. Very Muscular 2. Breast Feeding 4. Under 20/Over 65 not be determined by % fat or by body weight.

Weight Maintenance:
Calories consumed = Calories expended
Strength training increases muscle mass which boosts metabolism. 1 lb body fat burns 2 calories per hour at rest. 1 lb body muscle burns 40 50 calories per hour at rest.
Weight Loss:
Calories consumed less than Calories expended
during competitions.
To lose the recommended number of lbs/week, decrease calories by 500 per day.
Weight Gain:
Calories consumed greater than Calories expended
Slightly increase caloric intake by increasing foods from all four food groups.

Disordered Eating?
Anorexia (or self-starvation) is the most dangerous, due to its medical complications.
Disordered Eating?
Its not our bodies that need changing. Its our attitudes.

When I was racing, everyone was so keen on my diet. It gave me a great psychological edge. In reality, I worked at eating a sound diet that complemented my training and recovery
My diet played a huge role in my success because it allowed me to train more consistently.

Ask for substitutions. Avoid cream sauces and gravies.
Summary
Proper Hydration!!!
FOUNDATION = Training Diet BEFORE COMPETITION = Top up your energy stores. (1- 4 grams of carbs / kg body weight(1 to 4 hours before exercise) DURING COMPETITION = Extend energy. 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrate (every hour during exercise) AFTER COMPETITION = Resting & refueling. 1.5 grams of carbs/ kg body weight (immediately after exercise) Followed by 1.5 grams of carbs / kg wt. (2 hours later)
