It's time for another edition of Ask a Sports Dietitian where each month I select a question submitted to answer - just like I do each week on my private podcast for Fuelled Team members. Susan asks: Hi Gemma, I am a 57yr old female Cycling endurance athlete. I like to compete for overall and AG in 80-100mi sportive/fondo/ races. I am using a trainer and on the average put in 10-15hrs/week. I am interested to hear your macro recommendations when it comes to older but still competitive athletes. For example, some say that with aging athletes, %fat should be a bit higher than with younger athletes. What about Protein (super important for aging athletes) but how much is needed vs carbohydrates? I have a science background and listen to most all the new recommendations but I have found it all falls apart when you look at the needs for an aging yet still competitive female athlete!!
