The majority of athletes think there is one ‘right’ way to eat. However, eating and fueling yourbody are highly individualized, especially for female athletes. We evaluated the eating habits of female student-athletes at Arizona State University (ASU) by looking at how they chose to fuel their bodies for training and competition. Through interviews with six female student-athletes, two Registered Dieticians, and one Sports Performance Director all from ASU, we were able to find that, while there were some common eating trends, sports nutrition is individualized. We also learned that student-athletes have room for improvement when it comes to nutrition education.
