Gymnasts are tiny athletes, with very good physique so thee assumption is that they must eat very healthy and under the average amount of calories. This is not the case, gymnasts consume an enormous amount of calories when not supervised by their coaches. It’s like a type of undercover ritual they have. When traveling an assortment of methods are used to “get the goods.” Gymnasts will set their alarm clocks at odd hours of the night to make a trip to the vending machine or corner store, they are sometimes able to keep a stash in suitcases but must be very careful of where in the suitcase and what they do with the garbage. Gymnasts are very clever when it comes to their snacking, it is essential for them to feel “energized” as their usual practice runs on at least 4 hours long.
Gymnasts will sometimes share their secrets with other gymnasts but the topic of food is very mentioned to any adults or even in the vicinity of adult earshot. It is important to note that when gymnasts eat these extra “goods” it is not making them fat because they workout so much that all the calories are burned away. For a life long habit this might not be the case, but for young gymnasts this snaking is a way of life.
