Nutrition and the Athlete-1
Athletes require more
calories each day than non
athletes. The athlete simply
is more active. But if an
athlete is eating a good all
around diet, no sup
plementary nutrients are
needed unless a physician
has determined medically
that a nutritional deficiency
exists. Otherwise, the
athlete’s appetite tells him
how much more food he
needs to meet his needs.
, That, and the need for the
athlete to drink water during
practice and during games,
is all there is to the nutrition
story for the athlete.
But you wouldn’t know
that if you were to listen to
some coaches who still
persist, through nutritional
ignorance, in promoting
special diet supplements and
weird practices. Such an
approach may be effective
psychology but it’s lousy
nutrition.
A Steak Before Game?
For instance, let’s talk
about this business of eating
a steak the day of the game.
The idea, presumably, is to
get more protein into the
athlete for game time. The
excess is supposed to in
crease strength.
As expressed in the
American Medical
Association’s book Com
ments in Sports Medicine,
“The false reasoning goes
like this: The extra protein
stimulates muscle growth
and therefore increases
muscle strength. Yet, in fact,
it works in reverse. The rate
of growth determines the
Doctor
in the Kitchen*
by Laurence M. Hureh, M.D.
Consultant, National Dairy Council
quantity of protein
required."
What many coaches don’t
know is that the body’s
protein supplies are
established prior to 48 hours
before game time. There
simply will be no advantage
if excess protein is consumed
closer to game time. And
there could be a disad
vantage or two.
How? Well, protein is not
an efficient energy source.
So if you “beef up’’ on steak
you may be crowding out
some carbohydrate or fat
that would serve you better
in terms of energy for the
game.
It also often takes greater
energy in your body to
metabolize and digest
protein in your diet.
A Balanced Diet Needed
Let’s leave it for today that
your athlete needs a normal
diet from the four food
groups at calorie levels
greater than the rest of us.
He needs the variety offered
by the meat-fish-poultry-egg
group, the milk group,
vegetables and fruits, and
breads and cereals. And
during practice and games
he should drink all the water
he wants. He should, in fact,
push it a little. (Some kids
are not aware that they may
be becoming dehydrated.)
And he shouldn’t eat within
two hours before practice or
game time. More on this next
week.

babies are born with birth
defects each year, the March
of Dimes reports.
