How much does an elite rower really eat?

Australian Rowing Team's Lead Nutritionist Bronwen Lundy takes us through the average food consumption of Australia's top rowers while also sharing some helpful tips for up and coming rowers

I thought 20,000 kJ equalled 2000 calories and was really surprised until after googling it found it was over 4000 cals, holy moly.

[@shipper66]

its 4777 nutritional cals

This is actually extremely helpful to me!

I row 3-5 hours a day, usually 6 days a week, and my friends always ask me why i eat so much and why i consume so much more liquids and i pretty much just send them the link to this vid and it shows them why.

I row in the 70/80 th for about 30 h to 40 h per week and I need 6000 kcal per Day.

LOL gotta say all that white bread and processed food doesn't exactly inspire me as an amateur rower. these folks never heard of the plant based movement? I clicked on this video assuming elite athletes could provide me with more insight on how to eat like an elite person. I understand caloric intake. :)

[@secoff1]

I'm not plant based but agree with you that looks like a lot of processed food. Terrible habits to pick up as an active young person.

She would need to be a bit more careful when talking about performance supplements, referring to them as taking something to perform better...
