If you think training for the Olympics is tough, just wait until you hear how hard it is to feed all of the Olympic athletes. According to Bon Appetit, the dining hall in the Olympic Village spans the length of FOUR Olympic swimming pools. It feeds 18,000 people and serves 460,000 pounds of food a day.If your jaw hasnt hit the floor already, you need to read that last sentence again.Australian dietitian Fiona Pelly has been tasked with helping determine the menu for the past six Olympics, including Rio, and she shared her insight with Bon Appetit. Discussing the various considerations while serving athletes from vastly different sports from all over the globe, Pelly called it a pretty hard thing to get right.You really have to account for every different type of athletes nutritional needs. So cyclists and marathon runners, for example, need to eat a lot of carbs so theyre fueled up before their events. Rowers, wrestlers and boxers on the other hand have to make weight for their events, so they need foods with lower energy content like plain vegetables.With events like archery and shooting, you may not think that nutrition plays much of a role but it does because glucose levels have a serious impact on the brains ability to concentrate, and those types of sports require a lot of concentration over a long period of time. Then theres the power sports like weightlifting and sprinting. The event might be over in 10 seconds but the athletes need a lot of fuel to get there. Eating is about keeping their strength up.The dietitian claims the attention to detail as one of the toughest aspects of the job, citing the example of yogurt and all the varieties needed (Fruit flavored! Fat free! Soy! Greek! Goat milk!). She says there are ultimately almost 10 choices for yogurt. So that sounds complicated.However, despite all the nutritional concerns, Pelly says the most popular items are -- of course -- pizza and pasta. Olympic athletes really are just like us.See something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared? Let me know on Twitter, @darcymaine_espn. Wholesale Lakers Jerseys .
