Track Shoes For Sprinters

Sprinters Diet Plan
Sprinters Meal Calculator

     A sprinter thinks a lot about the best track shoes for sprinters. Those sprinting shoes are carefully tuned for optimal performance. What about our sprinters diet plan? Shouldn't nutrition for athletes be tuned for optimal performance as well?

     This Zone Diet Calculator works whether you are a world class athlete or a couch potato. It's just plain good nutrition in the right ratios. The daily requirements can be calculated using the Lean Body Mass Calculator.

     This zone diet calculator works for a meal or your favorite recipe. Once your food is balanced right, the ultimate test is how long your meals last (before you get hungry). If you get hungry too soon, how do you feel? If your meal wasn't efficient, but you are alert, your protein was a bit high. If you're groggy, then your carbohydrates were high. This is a lot like tuning the fuel/air mixture in a race car.

     For simplicity, if you have items that read all zeros, add them to the comments section. I enjoy getting my flavors from the herb garden. In such small quantities, they usually have no nutritional value. They do have great flavor and quite often even some medicinal value.

Note: Only the items in red are required.

Zone Blocks
     Try to get the same blocks for all nutrients. This can be extremely difficult to achieve. A little variance is OK, but make sure any excess is good quality.


Protein Carb Balance
     The most important result of the Zone Diet Calculator. It should be as green as possible.
Fat Balance
     Some red is OK if Prot/Carb balance is all green.
Fiber
     Green is good. Blue means you need more.
