Tag: Junk food for athletes

According to a study published in the *Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition*, fueling the body with the right balance of macronutrients is more important than massive calorie intake alone. So, can I eat whatever I want as an athlete? The short answer is no, and understanding why is key to unlocking your full potential and achieving long-term health and performance goals.

According to a study published in the journal *Pediatrics*, 79% of food products endorsed by professional athletes are classified as "junk food". This surprising statistic raises the question: Can you eat junk food as an athlete and still perform at a high level? The reality is more nuanced than a simple yes or no.
