IN THEIR WORDS
MIA MANGANELLO
SPEED SKATING
Overnight oats, finding new ways to mix it up
Chicken or eggs, white rice mixed with vegetables
Similar to lunch, a well-rounded meal with protein, carbs, vegetables
Fruit, granola bars
I like to live by the common sense rule. Practice portion control and limit pizza to only once a week.
TABITHA PETERSON
CURLING
Plain greek yogurt, frozen berries, granola, coffee
Spinach salad with grilled chicken, peppers, cranberries, sunflower seeds and balsamic vinaigrette
Chicken or beef stir fry with Teriyaki sauce and grilled peppers, broccoli, green beans, onions
Homemade protein balls (whey protein powder, oats, honey, peanut butter, with chia seeds or mini chocolate chips)
When I'm nervous before a big game, I always feel hungry, so I make sure to have a snack with me.
CLARE EGAN
BIATHLON
Two pieces of toast with Nutella, apple with peanut butter, milk, juice, tea
Large salad, heaping plate of rice, chicken, roasted vegetables
Salmon, pasta, sauteed vegetables, ice cream for dessert. And occasionally, a glass of wine
Mid-morning: Powerbar and sports drink, chocolate milk. Afternoon: smoothie, chocolate milk. Bedtime: cereal with milk
My nutritional challenge is getting enough calories. This is my diet in the summer, when I train up to six hours a day.
