Abstract

Dietary habits play a decisive role during pregnancy and just a well-planned balanced diet can provide all the nutritional needs that this stage of life demands. Frequent exercisers and athletes also have high nutritional requirements and can benefit from a personalized diet either for health or performance purposes. Therefore, a pregnant exerciser and athlete has increased and specific dietary needs which are scarcely explored in the scientific literature. This chapter aims to fill the gap between evidence-based knowledge on the impact of dietary habits during pregnancy and particularly the pregnant exerciser and athlete, bridging the gap between science and practice and help researchers, nutrition and exercise professionals, and even pregnant exercisers and athletes with a summary of the main diet recommendations for pregnant exercisers and athletes.
