The diets of athletes are "customized". An Nan, head of the Sports Nutrition Center of the Institute of Sports Medicine of the General Administration of Sport of China, said: "Through scientific research support, we accurately grasp the physical characteristics and nutritional needs of key athletes, establish a personalized nutrition database, integrate training load and injury status data, and formulate exclusive diet and nutritional supplement plans."
Nutritionists need to have a deep understanding of the athletes' individual nutritional needs, and meet their individual nutritional needs in competitive competitions by scientifically managing their daily diet and reasonably guiding the use of sports supplements. For example, female divers need to regularly assess their weight and body fat levels. To this end, their diet is strictly managed during daily training, but this may lead to low energy intake and nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, it is necessary to select nutritious and low-fat foods for meals and snacks.

Weightlifters consume a lot of calories during training, and they need to keep up with nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and unsaturated fatty acids. Weightlifting requires strong explosive power in muscles. In order to increase muscle weight, you can supplement with high-quality proteins such as whey protein powder during training, and eat dark vegetables to meet the need for vitamins. At the same time, weightlifting is a weight-based level sport, so it is also very important for athletes to control their own weight.

How can we help athletes recover quickly during the competition through scientific supplementation? The 30 minutes after training or competition is the golden window for recovery. During this period, by timely and reasonable intake of recovery drinks containing protein, the body will better absorb and utilize protein, restore damaged muscles, and promote muscle synthesis. This is also the reason why many athletes eat bananas.
What do Olympic athletes eat?
Need to be repeatedly studied by nutritionists
While we applaud the outstanding performance of the Olympic athletes,
We also need to see their self-discipline in life
For example, diet
You can't eat this, you can't eat that
Not everyone can persist
For the cause of love
They paid a lot
Deserves more applause and cheers!
We should also learn from the Olympic athletes
Proper diet and self-disciplined life
Be your own athlete!
