The main role for the dietitian is to design menus and recipes that meet the nutrient needs of athlete groups and satisfy a wide variety of individual tastes, expectations, dietary regimens and cultural preferences. Working directly with caterers provides the opportunity to select suitable foods for consumption and potentially influence the eating behaviour of athletes. Unfortunately, sporting venues and institutions that supply food for athletes do not usually employ a foodservice dietitian or cater adequately for athletes’ needs. Commonly, the available foods contradict sports and general nutrition principles.
