Nutrition: Around the Table with Michael Andrew

Visit the Swimming World Magazine Vault to Read More.

Have you ever wondered how you can eat like a pro athlete? 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.

This month’s “Around the Table” centers on swimming’s youngest athlete to go pro: Michael Andrew. Now, at the age of 18, Andrew has set a stunning 78 National Age Group (NAG) records and last summer became the first 17-year-old male to swim the 100-meter breaststroke under one minute.

Andrew described himself to Swimming World’s Annie Grevers as a “picky eater” as a kid, but explained that, “I really notice a difference in training when I go in fueled or do not.”

To learn more about Andrew and a sample of his daily menu, check out the July 2017 issue of Swimming World, available now!

010 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE MISCONCEPTIONS: BACKSTROKE START ARM MOTION
