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.
Calorie Composition. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, most athletes should eat 60 to 70 percent of their calories from carbohydrates, 12 to 15 percent from protein and 20 to 30 percent of their calories from fat.ince women athletes usually weigh less than male athletes, they generally require fewer calories as well.
