Q

Can athletes do intuitive eating?

A

Athletes might need to eat when not hungry to optimize recovery and performance
Higher energy and nutrient needs
Very hard, reduced satiety
- intense training can suppress appetite, especially after workout
- endurance or high-volume athletes may not feel hungry even when they need to eat
Fuelling is time-sensitive
* athletes need to eat before hunger hits-like pre-workouts meals, post-training recovery snacks, or race-day fuelling
* eating until you’re hungry could mean underperforming or not recovering properly

- Disqualified - In extreme cases can not compete again - Depends on sport/athlete - Aware or not aware - Athlete is responsible
43
What are reasons for supplement over food?
- Some nutrient are difficult to obtain in sufficient quantites - some athletes don't eat certain foods (eg. vegan) - Exceeding RDA may be beneficical for some - Timing of meals may be possible - Low risk of food born illness or hygiene contaminate

93
How does body compostion and endurance sports?
There can be some advantage to having a higher muscle mass to fat mass ratio but: * There is no single body fat percentage that will “work” or improve performance * Athletes need fat mass for their health (reproductive health, hormone function, fat soluble vitamins, organ protection, thermoregulation etc.) * Remember: under fueling hinders performance, increases injury risk & infections

98
What is the timing & role of glycerol for endurance-based athletes?
* Pre-event (lowers urine production via kidney reabsorption) * Does not use same channels as Na so they can be coupled to maximize reabsorption of body H2O
99

126
What about non-binary athletes?
We do not have a lot of research for this unique group What is clear: * Dietary habits represent an intersection of many factors, including preferences, motivation and biological needs * Personalized approaches are need (for any athlete regardless of sex or and gender) This is a growing area of interest for performance & nutrition guidelines * Despite intentions can quickly turn into a political debate **Bottom line**: We aim to support all athletes’ physical health, mental well-being & performance potential
