Good performance can be produced from a structured, systematic, and continuous training pattern. However, a lack of calorie intake during exercise will worsen the athlete's performance. Adequate and appropriate calorie intake can help athletes perform well. Eating habits will greatly affect the availability of calories in athletes. This literature review aims to describe the effects of caloric intake and eating habits of athletes from various literature. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is the approach employed. The database is taken from Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science (WOS), and Pubmed. 16 articles were analyzed through purpose, topic suitability, sample, research protocol, results, and discussion. The results of this literature review explain that athletes tend to experience less calorie intake caused by poor eating habits. Low knowledge of nutrition makes athletes practice wrong eating/dieting arrangements by relying on supplement intake to improve performance.

“…Parallel to the demand for physical performance imposed by RG, there is a requirement related to the aesthetic standard of this modality, described as a slender body with long limbs, according to the international standard of high-level gymnasts who won Olympic medals [7]. Additionally, performance in high-performance acrobatic modalities can benefit from reduced body weight, as leaner athletes seem to have biomechanical advantages [8].…”

“…Additionally, performance in high-performance acrobatic modalities can benefit from reduced body weight, as leaner athletes seem to have biomechanical advantages [8]. Thus, whether for aesthetic appeal or the biomechanical advantages, the search for weight reduction has been frequently reported in studies that evaluate rhythmic gymnasts [7] and, for this reason, athletes of this modality may present a higher risk of developing eating disorders and, consequently, harm to health [9].…”

Introdução: A elevada carga de treinamento associada ao padrão estético exigido pela ginástica rítmica (GR) tem sido considerada um fator estressor para as atletas de alto rendimento, podendo culminar em ansiedade, má qualidade de sono e risco para desenvolvimento de transtornos alimentares. Objetivos: Avaliar o estado de ansiedade, a qualidade do sono e o risco de transtorno alimentar, e suas possíveis correlações, em ginastas rítmicas de alto rendimento em busca de uma vaga na seleção brasileira juvenil. Métodos: Foram avaliadas 21 ginastas do gênero feminino (13,4 ± 0,5 anos, 1,56 ± 0,1 m, 45,6 ± 6,1 kg). As ginastas responderam a três questionários: o Inventário do Estado de Ansiedade Competitiva (CSAI-2) para avaliar ansiedade cognitiva e somática como também a autoconfiança, o Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI), e o Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (EAT-26) para avaliar o risco de transtornos alimentares. Resultados: As ginastas apresentaram predominantemente baixa ansiedade cognitiva e somática, e elevada autoconfiança. No entanto, 23,8% das ginastas rítmicas apresentaram risco para transtornos alimentares, e 23,8% apresentaram má qualidade de sono. Houve correlação estatística significativa entre qualidade de sono e ansiedade somática, porém os transtornos alimentares não se correlacionaram com ansiedade ou qualidade de sono. Conclusão: As ginastas rítmicas juvenis de alto rendimento avaliadas neste estudo apresentaram altas frequências para risco de transtorno alimentar e má qualidade de sono, sendo indicado monitoramento por equipe multidisciplinar.

Purpose Despite lifestyle changes and medication therapies, weight loss is difficult to maintain. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective route for significant weight reduction. However, post-operation there are limited opportunities to support weight loss maintenance. The following study aimed to pilot test a 6-week, 6-session nutrition and support program for post-MBS surgery patients. Materials and Methods A 6-week post-MBS pilot nutrition and support program was developed to test feasibility and acceptability. Participants completed a baseline survey that included demographics, weight changes, success post-surgery, and self-efficacy of leading a healthy lifestyle. Weight change, percent total weight loss, self-efficacy, and program evaluation measures were assessed. Results Participants (n = 18) were recruited from a local MBS clinic, predominately female (88.9%), non-Hispanic white (94.4%), received sleeve gastrectomy surgery (100%), and were 2–3 years post-operation (44.4%). Eight of the 18 participants attended the in-person sessions, serving as the intervention group. Both weight loss over and behavioral variables remained stable for both groups across the 6 weeks with no significant differences from pre to post program (p > 0.05). For program evaluation, intervention participants “agreed” or “strongly agreed” with 10 of 11 program satisfaction measures. Conclusion Following the program, weight loss was maintained among both intervention and control groups. Intervention feedback indicated that the program’s approach to provide nutrition education and support was successful and acceptable. Future enhancement of the intervention should include a broader multidisciplinary approach, longer intervention period, and intentional recruitment of participants with a weight regain.
