Starches, along with fried
foods and heavy desserts are

to good nutrition.

A well balanced diet plays an essential part in every National Football league team's overall
fitness and game-time performance, as well as in every family's health and well-being. Drawing

Supply half a ton of meat,
nearly 200 dozen eggs, over
30 crates of fresh fruit, and
170 gallons of fruit drink,
and what have you got?
The answer? The training
table menu of a typical Nat
ional Football League team
for an average week during
pre season training.
Fueling a professional
football team may involve
some staggering statistics
?both individually and col
lectively particularly during
the training camp period,
when the teams eat three
meals a day together. But
underlying the quantity story
is a great concern for the
quality of nutrition.
Today's pros know that
their performance on the
Held is directly linked to their
physical condition, and this
means more than just exer
cise-it means proper nutri
tion as well.
The diet for players on
each of the 16 NFL clubs is
closely supervised by trainers,
team physicians, and food
directors or dieticians. The
result is a combination of
calories, vitamins and pro
teins that enables the pros to
sustain the hard knocks and
all-out drives that make up
the game.
Of course, while everyone
doesn't have the nutritional
requirements of a 280-pound
tackle, a well-balanced diet
nevertheless plays an essential
part in every family fitness
program.
The pro players them
selves. for the most part, are
well aware of what's good for
them. They have learned to
follow good food habits dur
ing the off-season as well as
during the season. At training
camp, however, conditions
are designed and controlled
for maximum nutritional
benefits.
Calories are watched by
pro footballers just as avidly
as by non-gridders-but often
for a different reason. In
most camps, there are more
players trying to gain weight
than lose. Consequently,
there is plenty of food avail
able and calories may range
from 900 to 6,000 per day.
The average pro consumes
about 3,000 calories daily.
But they aren't wasted.
They're wha? the players
need to keep charging
through long workouts.
Training table diets may
be adjusted to fit the needs of
individual players. Some
teams have separate "fat
man's" tables for overweight
players These get skim or
instant nonfat milk, no rich
desserts, and smaller portions,
to help them achieve their
ideal playing weight.
With players on any given
team coming from a score or
more of states, there natu
rally are food-preferences and
prejudices. But without ex
ception the teams rely heavily
on meat, cheeses, and wheat
cereals for protein; fruit
juices, vitamin-fortified
drinks, fresh and dried fruit,
and light desserts for energy;
and a variety of vegetables
and salads for needed vit
amins. Because the players'
a plate of scrambled eggs,
dry. with a side order of two
raw eggs. Others stipulate
liquid foods only before a
game
"There's a lot of psycho
logy involved in the pre-game
meal." explains one NFL
team physician. "There are a
lot of fetishes and folklore
tied up in athlete diets. A lot
depends on where he's from,
where he went to. school, and
what his high school coach
may have told him. We just
see that they get what they
want, and lots of it."
All this, he adds, is to
insure that the players go
onto the field as mentally and
physically prepared as possi
ble.
At home or on the road,
the pros occasionally indulge
in itheir special favorites,
which may run the gamut
from seafood to Italian din
ners. They, like any home
maker, know that variety is
the spice of life when it
comes to food.
