Nutrition for Individual Nutrition for Individual NeedsNeeds
Performance NutritionPerformance Nutrition
• Best eating plan for athletes is one that is balanced, moderate and varied
• Your body’s needs for protein, vitamins and minerals does not change dramatically when training, however because physical activity burns calories, athletes and other active individual need to eat more calories from nutrient-dense foods to maintain their weight and energy levels when training
HydrationHydration• Body naturally loses fluids through perspiration,
breathing and waste elimination• Fluid loss increases during physical activity, especially in
hot weather• Fluids must be replaced to avoid dehydration and
heatstroke– Dehydration can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes
• Minerals that help maintain the body’s fluid balance– Sodium, chloride, and potassium are all electrolytes
• You must take in as much water and electrolytes that you lose “rehydration”– Drink 16-24 ounces of fluids 2 to 3 hours before a heavy workout
and 6-12 ounces of fluids every 15-20 minutes during heavy workouts
– Best to drink plain water to replenish fluids lost during exercise
““Making Weight”Making Weight”• Losing Weight
– Competing in a weight class that is below your healthy weight zone can be dangerous
– Fasting, crash dieting, or sweating off extra weight before weight ins can cause dehydration
– Over time, such practices may also lead to a loss of muscle mass
• Gaining Weight– A program that combines balanced nutrition and exercise is the
healthful way to gain weight– Supervised weight lifting program can help build muscle mass– Extra calories you need for gaining weight should come from
nutrient dense foods, not from protein supplements– Slow weight gain of no more than 1-2lbs per week is
recommended– Anabolic steroids or other body building drugs in NOT healthy
Eating Before CompetitionEating Before Competition
• Eating 3-4 hours before competition allows the stomach to empty yet gives an athlete the necessary energy and keeps him or her free from hunger pangs while competing
• Choose a meal that’s high in carbohydrates and low in fat and protein, both which stay in the digestive system for a longer period of time– Pasta, rice, vegetables, bread and fruits are good
sources of carbohydrates• Drink plenty of water
VegetarianismVegetarianism• Vegetarian: a person who eats mostly or only
plant foods– Religious reasons– Cultural reasons– Concern for environment
• By cutting out the saturated fats and cholesterol found in many animal products vegetarians may reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers
• Consuming more fruits, vegetables and whole grains is also linked to a reduced risk of many health problems
Meeting Nutrient NeedsMeeting Nutrient Needs
• Need to eat a variety of incomplete proteins in a way that will yield complete proteins over the course of the day
• Need to get enough iron, zinc and B vitamins which are often found in animal products
Dietary SupplementsDietary Supplements• Non-food form of one or more nutrients• May contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, or herbs• Supplements can be in a pill, capsule, powder or liquid
form• Eating healthy meals and snacks based on the Food
Guide Pyramid can provide you with all the nutrients your body needs
• A multivitamin may sometimes be appropriate• Vitamin and mineral supplements may be recommended
for older adults, pregnant or nursing women, people receiving certain medical treatments and those recovering from illness
Risks of Dietary SupplementsRisks of Dietary Supplements
• Megadose– Very large amount of a dietary supplements– Can be very dangerous– Vitamins A, D, E and K are stored in body fat and may
cause toxicity if taken in large amounts• Herbal supplement
– Chemical substance from plants that may be sold as a dietary supplement
– Often sold as “natural”• Safety and nutritional claims of these products are not based
on conclusive scientific evidence
Nutrition During PregnancyNutrition During Pregnancy• Developing fetus depends on its mother for all its needs• Folate/ Folic Acid
– Can prevent spinal defects in the developing fetus– Sources include fruits, dark green leafy vegetables and fortified grain
products• Iron
– Increased blood volume during pregnancy produces and increased demand for this mineral
– Found in meat, poultry, fish, dark green leafy vegetables and enriched grain products
– Helps build and renew hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying compound in blood cells
• Calcium– Helps build bones and teeth of the developing fetus– Replaces calcium taken from the mother’s bones– Found in dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, canned fish with
edible bones and fortified cereals and juices
Nutrition for Infants and Young ChildrenNutrition for Infants and Young Children
• Breastfeeding is the best way to feed infants• If not possible, fortified formulas will provide the baby
with the nutrients he/she needs• Through the first year, formula is supplement with a
variety of solid foods– Starting with cereal grains, then fruits and vegetables and then
meat or poultry• After the first year, many parents substitute whole milk
for formula or breast milk– Fats in whole milk provide essential nutrients for a child’s
developing nervous system• Between a child’s 2nd and 5th birthday parents should
gradually replace whole milk with low or non fat milk to meet the calcium and vitamin D needs while reducing fat intake
Nutrition and Older AdultsNutrition and Older Adults
• Usually the same as younger adults• However, certain health problems may
change the nutritional needs• Some medications interfere with nutrient
absorption, so dietary supplements may be needed
Maintaining a Healthy Maintaining a Healthy WeightWeight
Body ImageBody Image
• The way you see your body• Affected by several factors
– Media images– Friends– Family
• Often died to perception of weight– Remember, your own healthy weight probably
won’t be the same as a fashion model, body builder or your best friend
Weight-Calorie ConnectionWeight-Calorie Connection
• Calories are used to measure energy– Energy in food and energy you body uses for
life processes and physical activities• Maintaining weight is a matter of energy
balance– The calories you consume must equal the
calories your body burns (calories in=calories out)
• If you take in fewer calories than you burn you will lose weight
• If you take in more calories than you burn you will gain weight
CaloriesCalories
• Review:– Fats: 9 calories per gram– Proteins: 4 calories per gram– Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram
• Even small amounts of fat greatly increase calorie content
Calories Continued…Calories Continued…
• One pound of body fat equals 3,500 calories– Eating 500 fewer calories a day would result
in the loss of 1lb in a week– Burning an additional 500 calories a day
would result in the loss of 1 lb in a week
Determining Appropriate Weight RangeDetermining Appropriate Weight Range
• Influenced by several factors– Gender– Age– Height– Body frame– Growth rate– Metabolic rate– Activity level
Body Mass Index (BMI)Body Mass Index (BMI)
• A ratio that allows you to assess your body size in relation to your height and weight
• Different charts used for males and females, because age and gender need to be taken into account
• Figure 6.1 pg 146
Body Weight vs Body FatBody Weight vs Body Fat
• Overweight: condition in which a person is heavier than the standard weight range for his or her height– Does not mean you are unhealthy! Muscle
mass must be taken into account• Obesity: an excess amount of body fat

UnderweightUnderweight
• A condition in which a person is less than the standard weight range for his or her height
• Some teens are very thin while they are growing• Could be normal because of genetics or a fast
metabolism• However, other people diet or exercise
excessively in order to stay thin– Problems:

120 for systolic and 80 for diastolic– If you don’t know your cholesterol type 150 for
total cholesterol, 50 for HDL and 100 for LDL
Fad Diets and Eating Fad Diets and Eating DisordersDisorders
Fad DietsFad Diets
