Diana ate a nice balance of carbohydrates and lean protein, stayed sufficiently hydrated, and paced her food throughout the day. She didn’t let her concern about becoming bloated stop her from drinking water, even though it was right before being partnered in adagio class. Diana also had only one small chocolate chip cookie versus her usual bag of jelly beans. The only area where her mood seems to have had an effect is when she ate peanuts after arguing with her roommate, bringing her total fat intake to 62 grams. This is still close to a normal range for dancers (40 to 60 grams). My only advice is, keep up the good work!

The Bottom Line

A balanced diet for dancers involves a variety of nutritious foods. This can be challenging for several reasons, including lack of appetite from exercise, emotional eating, and time constraints—in addition to having to prepare your own food. Yet the rewards are tangible and will have a direct and positive impact on your dancing. When all is said and done, dancers need to be food-conscious, not food-phobic! Think about what you’re getting in, not what you’re avoiding. It’s a much healthier way to look at it.
