An athlete’s diet should be similar to that recommended for the general public, with energy intake divided into 45 to 65% from carbohydrates, 15 to 25% from protein and 20 to 35% from fat.
This was stated by a Pakistan Origin US National Dr. Nabeel, a professional dietitian who had his Ph.D from USA in Nutrition and also introduced his own diet plan for the athletes in Pakistan. He was speaking during the ongoing five-day PSB Coaching and Training Course for Athletes here at PSB Coaching Center Peshawar on Sunday.
