“…However, it is known that athletes tend to consume a higher amount of protein than is generally recommended in order to improve their performance and provide muscle growth (Güneş, 2016). Spendlove et al (2015), found that male athletes averaged 2,0-4,3 g/kg/day protein in their meta-analysis. In a study conducted by rugby athletes, it was found that athletes received an average of 2,2 g/kg/day protein (MacKenzie et al, 2015).…”

The present study was conducted to determine macronutrient, liquid, and nutritional supplements intake in male athletes. Forty male athletes living in Ankara and attending to various sport clubs participated in this study. A survey was given to subjects for including questions about sports life, nutrition habits, and liquid consumption. Within the scope of the study, i; a questionnaire containing questions about sporting life, eating habits and liquid consumption, ii; 3-day food consumption record form, iii; 3-day physical activity record form were applied to athletes. Athletes were grouped as strength/power (P) athletes (n=26) and team (T) athletes (n=14). 55,0% of the athletes use nutritional supplements and the most commonly used nutritional supplements are branched chain amino acids (35,0%), whey protein (32,5%) and glutamine (20,0%), respectively. When the food consumption records of the athletes are examined, it was found that both groups of athletes were found to have inadequate energy (P:46,1±17,6 kcal/kg/day, T:41,7±11,1 kcal/kg/day; p>0,05). It was found that athletes consumed low amount of carbohydrate (P:5,0±2,4 g/kg/day, T:5,5±1,7 g/kg/day; p>0,05) and that P athletes consumed high protein while T athletes consumed at recommended levels (2,7±1,3 g/kg/day, 1,5±0,5 g/kg/day; p<0,05). While the difference between groups was significant for the percentages of energy from carbohydrates
