When discussing race day nutrition it is important to understand the energy requirements. The average athlete expends approximately 100 calories per mile during a marathon. During a triathlon, the athlete expends approximately 500 to 1000 calories on the swim, 3,000 to 4,000 calories on the bike, and 2,500 to 3,000 calories on the run. Wow! That is some serious energy expenditure.
Foods are made up of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Marathon runners and athletes in general should eat a diet high in carbohydrates, moderate in protein, and low in fat. Another key nutrient that is a must for athletes is water.ndurance athletes need up to 50% more protein than sedentary adults. Protein should contribute 12-15% of total calories per day. To figure out the amount for you, multiply your weight in kilograms by 1.3, or multiply your weight in pounds by 0.6 to calculate the number of grams of protein you should consume per day.
