Hello all,
As time goes on and college gymnastics has become more of a tangible goal for me, I have begun to become more conscious about the importance of my nutrition and how it can affect my gymnastics. I am currently a vegetarian, though I would be willing to change that if it would help with gymnastics, as I do worry about getting enough protein. I am 17 years old, and eat rather healthfully as it is, but I am very interested in implementing some kind of nutritional plan that could help me organize what I eat, what I need to eat more of, and what I should cut back on in order to most benefit my gymnastics. It would be great to hear from people about what a high-level gymnastics nutritional plan looks like, what specific foods should be eaten, etc...
I know it would probably be best to see some sort of sports nutritionist in order to create a meal plan, but I don't think there is anyone in my area who works with gymnasts on that.
Anyway, I would love to get some feedback about this, and any advice is appreciated!
Thank you!
