Different Sports Have Different Nutritional Requirements • One size fits all nutrition doesn't fit anybody • Sports nutritionist is an RD who runs • Uncritical application of carb requirements for high volume endurance athletes to strength/power or mixed sport athletes

Energy Intake Part 2

Energy Intake Part 1 ®Can vary significantly between athletes and sports

• 40-50 cal/kg (18-22 cal/lb) at 90 minutes per day of training • Can be much higher given modern training volumes and loads

•Also varies with a given training day-

• Day off: 30-33 cal/kg (-15-16 cal/lb) • Medium training day (1 hour): 35-40 cal/kg • Heavy training day (90'+): 40-50 cal/kg or more

•Sample Athletes

Use body composition changes as a determinant

• Non-deliberate weight loss: eating too little • Body fat going up: eating too much • Variations in caloric intake generally from changes in daily carbohydrate intake

Female specific issues

• Female athletes notorious for undereating • Not losing weight but can't train or compete optimally

• 60kg female: 1800-3000 cal/day • 100kg male: 3000-5000 cal/day

Roles of Dietary Protein

Protein: Introduction • Many roles in the body: structural, hormones, energy, etc. (next slide) • Only source of nitrogen in the diet • Provides Amino Acids

- 8 Essential (MUST come from the diet) - 12 Non-essential (CAN be made in the body) - Conditionally essential/etc.

Structural

Hormones

Neurotransmitters

Energetic

"Muscle •Hair •Skin •Bone •Connective tissues •Tryptophane Serotonin •Tyrosine-> Dopamine, Adrenaline, Noradrenaline

•Growth Hormone •IGF-1 •Catecholamines •Thyroid (tyrosine) •Albumin

Other

•Immune System •Gut Function •Anti-bacterial •Blood pressure •Analgesic effect

•Glucose production •Ketone production •Alanine, leucine burned in muscle

Basic Meal Planning • Most eat the same stuff over and over

• The benefit of measuring for at least a little while

• Once you get calorie counts for standard meals, you don't have to track quite so much

• Use standard estimates -

• Eating out is achievable: most places have calorie counts

Deck of cards ~= 120 grams meat (-25 grams protein) Small fist ~= 100 grams carbs (25 grams carbs) Tennis ball -=200 grams fruit (25 grams carbs) Dietary fat: Vz ping pong ball ~= 14 grams (14 grams fat)

uvuuuuuuuuu Modular Eating • Pick protein source first: often contains some fat or carbs • Pick carb source next: often contains some carbs or fat • Use fat to balance out the meal (e.g. add olive oil to salad) • While a little boring, makes adjusting food intake much easier esp. carbohydrate intake.

Each phase has distinct but overlapping effects.

Immediate Pre-Workout Nutrition Part 1

• Timing

Appropriate blood glucose levels (central drive) Hydration Pre workout protein/amino acids: may improve adaptation 30 minutes to start of training Rebound blood sugar issues Warming up inhibits insulin response

Pre-Workout Nutrition Part 2

Concerns About Around Workout Nutrition

• Fat gain

- Especially female/weight class athletes

• Negative hormonal response • All basically unwarranted

Post-Workout Nutrition: Part 4

• Rehydration -

Water not optimal: sodium/potassium increase retention 1.5 L fluid needed for every 1kg weight loss during training

• The Power of Milk

Superior to water or sports drinks for rehydration Pros Whey + casein = fast + slow protein (> soy) Inexpensive, readily available, TASTY! Cons • May require excessive amounts for large athletes Lactose intolerance/dairy allergies Use as a base to add other nutrients (carbs/protein)

B ODYCt RECOMPOSITION

Competition Nutrition

Rule #1: Don't change anything the day of a competition Test out different pre, immediate pre- food combinations during training, not on game day Nothing fundamentally changes from around workout concepts

Dynamics of game vs. practice (e.g. chances to drink during game)

Post-workout

May take precedence Let's talk about alcohol

RECOM POSIT ION

Hydration: Individuality

• Water and electrolyte loss during activity can vary 10 fold -

Sodium loss during activity

• Quick and easy method -

5 clear urinations per day, 2 after training

• More accurate method -

-

Weigh before and after training Every 1kg weight loss requires 1.5 liter fluid to replace Do NOT gain weight during training: hyponatremia Currently impossible to estimate sodium losses easily

m i vnvm v m v m ini I lydration: Introduction

• Impact of hydration on performance

Even slight dehydration can impair performance Extreme dehydration can cause heat stroke or death Cramping issues

• Hydration myths -

8 glasses/day: pulled out of someone's butt Drink X ml per pound body weight Only water counts: nonsense Caffeinated beverages

• Thirst is imprecise

RECOMPOSITION

Hydration: Cramping

• Very complicated -

Interaction with sodium, potassium, magnesium and others Many find that the amino acid taurine helps

• Sufficient hydration can only help but may not solve problems • Lite salt for sodium/potassium intake • What about creatine? • Stimulants/ephedrine/fat burners and cramping RECOMPOSITION

Hierarchy of Nutritional Requirements

Module 6: Supplements

BODY®

RECOM P O S I T I O N

General Use Supplements: Part 1

• Protein Powders -

Useful for athletes who have trouble meeting high requirements Convenience/portability/around workout nutrition Whey/casein/milk protein isolate Do NOT buy commercially

• Basic multivitamin/mineral

B ODY® RECOMPOS1TION

General Use Supplements: Part 2

• Calcium -

Especially for female athletes 800-1600 mg/day, calcium citrate

• Vitamin D -

- Men should be aware of iron overload - Women should choose iron containing product

May be as important as fish oil Problem in northern latitudes Ideal to get blood work first. If not 2-4k IU per day. Consider tanning lX/week (seriously)

• Fish oils: A MUST!

• Zinc/Magnesium

-

Commonly deficient in athletes Helpful for sleep taken at bedtime Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed (citrate better) Dose 25 mg zinc/400mg magnesium

BODY®

vttlttffttttt

General Use Supplements: Part 3 • Glutamine -

May protect immune system function High quality proteins/BCAA work better Purely empirical: when starting to get sick, horse doses of glutamine and Vitamin C help to kill it. Take 2-3 grams glutamine and 500mg Vitamin C as often as you remember.

• Anti-oxidants -

In isolated form, do not appear to improve performance or health In diet, they improve health Excessive anti-oxidant intake from pills may impair training adaptations

B ODY® RECOMPOSITION

Performance Supplements: Part 2

• Beta-Alanine -

May help lactic athletes buffer May increase work capacity in weight trainers, esp. combined with creatine 400-800 mg 4X/day (pain in the ass) for 30 days minimum Can cause a histamine flush (tingling, burning)

• Branched-chain amino acids -

Very popular with bodybuilders Mixed results in the literature in terms of performance IMO: Unnecessary if sufficient protein being consumed

• Pre-workout stimulants -

Good old caffeine: 3-5 mg/kg 30-60 minutes before Be careful with fat burners, can cause cramping

BODY

RECOMPOSITION

• Creatine Monohydrate -

Must have for strength/power athletes Does increase body weight by l-2kg (water) May improve repeated sprint performance Loading approaches 20 g/day for 5 days (fastest but can cause stomach upset) • 10 g/day for 10 days (longer but less GI issues) • 3 g/day for 30 days (longest but no chance of stomach upset) • End result is the same Creatine monohydrate is fine, expensive products are only more expensive, not better. Maintain with 3-5 g/day before/after heavy workouts

BODY

RECOMPOSITION

• Everything else

Esoterica

• There are a zillion supplements that might or might not do something • In 20 years in the field, I've seen thousands come and go. Most go. Few live up to the hype and they are the one still being used a year later. • When you have everything else dialed in on a day to day basis, consider this stuff. Until then, focus on what matters.

Companies I Personally Use

Buying Supplements • Never buy commercially (e.g. GNC)

• Irueprotein.com (http://www.trueprotem.com)

Excellent for bulk protein and other supplements 5% discount for orders over 16 lbs. No duty or brokerage fees

• Online always cheaper although shipping/import can affect that • Get together with teammates and order in bulk to defray shipping costs

• lfast400.com (http://wwwJiasl400.com)

Bulk powders and other daily use supplements Fast shipping, good prices

• Vitaglo.com (http://www.vitaglo.com) Not so fast shipping sometimes Excellent prices

Female athletes may need 200-300 over maintenance

Calories beyond what is needed for maximal growth will just make the athlete fat

Fat Loss: Part 2 Creating a deficit
