Abstract
Athletes differ from nonathletes in their nutritional requirements. Proper determination of nutritional needs in athletes requires knowledge of the athlete's body-fat composition and daily caloric expenditure. A balanced diet for athletes consists of 60 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 15 percent from protein and 25 percent from fat. Other important considerations include adequate intake of minerals and fluids.
