“…41 For example, the daily energy intake reported by many female athletes is often below the estimated energy expenditure of their training regimens, 41,42,250 particularly some endurance-based programs that have a predicted energy expenditure of 700 to 1000 kcal/d. [254][255][256] However, numerous investigators have identified problems and deficiencies in the athlete's diet, especially as it relates to adequate consumption of macronutrients [257][258][259][260] and micronutrients. 254 To prevent an imbalance between energy expenditure and dietary intake, athletes must make appropriate food choices that will provide adequate macronutrients and micronutrients so that metabolic fuels are readily available.…”

These recommendations are intended to provide certified athletic trainers and others participating in the health maintenance and performance enhancement of athletes with specific knowledge and problem-solving skills to better prevent, detect, and manage DE. The individual biological, psychological, sociocultural, and familial factors for each athlete with DE result in widely different responses to intervention strategies, challenging the best that athletics programs have to offer in terms of resources and expertise. The complexity, time intensiveness, and expense of managing DE necessitate an interdisciplinary approach representing medicine, nutrition, mental health, athletic training, and athletics administration in order to facilitate early detection and treatment, make it easier for symptomatic athletes to ask for help, enhance the potential for full recovery, and satisfy medicolegal requirements. Of equal importance is establishing educational initiatives for preventing DE.

“…In addition, the habitual protein intake of the participants is not commonly reported, which is important as protein gastric emptying and satiety response has been demonstrated to have a reduced effect on individuals with high habitual protein intakes (Long, Jeffcoat, & Millward, 2000;Shi et al, 1997). There is evidence to suggest that many athletes already consume protein above the current recommendations (Rodriguez, Di Marco, & Langley, 2009); in the range of~1.5-2.5 g·kg day −1 (Bradley et al, 2015;Cole et al, 2005;Lundy, O'Connor, Pelly, & Caterson, 2006;Schokman, Rutishauser, & Wallace, 1999), and therefore may have a differing satiety response to supplemental protein than non-athletes or individuals with lower protein intakes. Therefore, this study will assess the impact of a manipulation of protein dose (20, 40, 60 and 80 g) in a liquid whey protein supplement on subjective sensations of appetite and food intake in a cohort of concurrently training athletes who consume protein in excess of current recommendations (Rodriguez et al, 2009).…”

“…Two studies have evaluated the dietary practices of national collegiate division I football players. Cole et al quantified intake using a 3-day diet record and found that the football players had lower intake of calories, carbohydrate and fat, but more protein when compared to age- and sex-matched subjects from NHANES III [ 2 ]. Another study evaluated intake using a self-administered nutrition-screening questionnaire that focused on dietary practices and attitudes.…”

“…Although there is no special RDI for protein intake among athletes, the position statement of the International Society of Sports Nutrition states that exercising individuals' protein needs are between 1.4 and 2.0 g/kg/day, depending upon mode and intensity of exercise, quality of protein, and status of total calorie and carbohydrate intake [ 4 ]. Protein intakes greater than this do not provide benefits [ 2 ]. For example, one study found that dietary protein intakes of 2.6 g/kg/day during resistance-exercise training in young males did not result in larger increases in strength or body mass beyond those that occurred with a protein intake of 1.35 g/kg/day [ 5 ].…”

BackgroundProtein needs for athletes are likely higher than those for the general population. However, athletes may perceive their protein needs to be excessively high. The purpose of this research was to compare collegiate athletes' perceived protein needs and measured protein intake to the recommended protein intake (RDI) for healthy adults (i.e. 0.8 g/kg/d) and to the maximum beneficial level for strength-trained athletes (i.e. 2.0 g/kg/day).MethodsPerceived protein needs were quantified in 42 strength-trained collegiate male athletes by using a survey that asked the athletes to provide their perception about protein needs in specific quantitative terms (i.e. g/kg/d). Perceived protein needs were also determined by having the athletes select a daylong menu that they perceived to have adequate protein content from a collection of 5 isoenergetic menus, which differed in terms of protein content. Actual protein intake was quantified using 3-day food records and nutrient analysis. Single sample t-tests were used to compare protein intake and perceived protein needs to 0.8 g/kg/day and 2.0 g/kg/day.ResultsWhen asked to provide, in quantitative terms, protein needs for athletes, 67% of the athletes indicated "do not know." Of the remaining 33% of athletes, all gave values greater than 2.0 g/kg/d (mean 21.5 ± 11.2 g/kg/d, p = 0.14 vs. 2.0 g/kg/d). Based on the menu selection method for determining perceived protein needs, the athletes indicated that their protein needs were 2.4 ± 0.2 g/kg/d, which was greater than the RDI for protein (p < 0.0001) and tended to be greater than the maximally beneficial protein intake of 2.0 g/kg/d (p = 0.13). Measured protein intake was 2.0 ± 0.1 g/kg/d, which was greater than the RDI (p < 0.0001) but not different from the maximally beneficial protein intake of 2.0 g/kg/d (p = 0.84).ConclusionsMale collegiate athletes recognize that their protein needs are higher than that of the general population and consume significantly more protein than recommended in the RDI. However, it also appears that athletes are not aware of objective recommendations for protein intake and may perceive their needs to be excessively high. This study highlights the need for nutrition education in collegiate athletes, in particular nutrition education on macronutrient distribution and protein needs.
