Visit the Swimming World Magazine Vault to Read More.

Have you ever wondered how you can eat like an Olympian? The “Around The Table” feature in Swimming World Magazine gives you access to how some of the best swimmers in the world are filling up. The world of nutrition can be murky and contradictory, so pull up a chair at this table of champions to understand why swim stars take food seriously.

In this month’s “Around The Table” pull up a chair at Kelsi Worrell’s training table, and discover a sample daily menu of the 2016 Olympian. Swimming World’s nutrition guru, Tasija Karosas, provides the nutritional explanations while the photos are provided by Worrell herself.

Worrell explained to Swimming World’s Annie Grevers,

“I first started paying attention to my nutrition in college, particularly my junior and senior years when a nutritionist became available for our team. I’ve never had to worry too much about my weight, but I became more aware of foods to help me recover quicker…and in turn, to help me swim faster.”

To read more about how Worrell fuels her body, check out the June 2017 issue of Swimming World, available now!
