THIS EPISODE:
This episode we discussed sports nutrition for youth athletes. We had Brad our nutrition expert back to give us all the insight needed to assist in developing a general program for our young athletes. We also had Charles Shultz back to give his insight as well - Charles is the owner of Super Fit Training in Pickerington, Ohio and he deals with great amount of youth athletes. A great show overall.
Below are some nutritional guidelines that Brad put together for Baseball Players.
• Baseball players do not need to eat extra calories because
baseball is not a game of continuous activity. Pitchers and
catchers need more calories than infielders and
outfielders.A 183-pound pitcher burns about 900 calories
in 2 hours of play,whereas a fielder burns only 610
calories in 2 hours.
• Baseball players need 2.3 to 3.2 grams of carbohydrate
per pound of body weight per day (5 to 7 g/kg/day).Good
sources of carbohydrates include whole grain breads and
cereals, fruits, and vegetables.
• Baseball players need 0.55 to 0.8 grams of protein per
pound of body weight per day (1.2 to 1.7 g/kg/day).Good
choices for protein include fish, chicken, turkey, beef, lowfat
milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, nuts, and soy.
• Baseball players need 0.45 grams of fat per pound of
body weight per day (1 g/kg/day). Choose heart-healthy
fats like canola oil, olive oil, and nuts.
