Best Answer

Athletes should follow the same diet recommended for all people. The food pyramid or my plate are good references to determining serving size and number of servings. A common misconception is that athletes should eat all carbohydrates or all proteins all the time. While both are essential for good health eating only one or the other can lead to deficiencies in important vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.

If unsure about a current diet or changes in the diet, consult your doctor before changing it.
