Abstract
Understanding why athletes choose what they eat is important for helping them achieve an intake that supports their health, training and performance. While athletes may be aware of appropriate sports nutrition practices, they may not consistently make winning food choices. Factors such as sensory appeal, religion, emotions, convenience and social influences may take priority over performance and health. Additionally, the relative influence of these factors may vary depending on competitive seasons or training phases.
