What makes a good figure skater? Physically and mentally?

Figure skating vegetarians?

  • is the vegetarian lifestyle good for a figure skater or no? i was considering it but some people say it makes you week and stuff..anyskaters that are vegetarian

  • Answer:

    I was vegetarian for a while but I gave it up because I missed filet mignon too much, and because I'm anemic and need more iron than a vegetarian diet offers. If you're a serious skater, meet with a dietician. I meet with one every month to adjust my diet to my health, fitness, and growth needs. If your diet is planned properly, being a vegetarian won't impact your skating at all. But you really should talk to a dietician; they will help you make healthy choices. Your overall health can improve with a well planned diet.

I'm a skater and I'm vegetarian :) The vegetarian lifestyle is fine for a figure skater as long as you make sure you eat replacements for meat so you can still get protein and iron.

Alissa Czisny is a vegetarian. A well-planned vegetarian diet can meet the daily requirements of athletes. As with the other answers, consulting a dietitian would be a good idea. You need to eat a certain combination of foods to obtain all the essential amino acids because plant proteins are incomplete proteins. Eggs and dairy can provide complete proteins if added to your diet. You should also be aware of possible iron, B12, calcium and fatty acid deficiencies, which again can be obtained via certain foods or supplementation.

vegetarians are some of the most healthy people out there. nothing about the diet can hurt you as long as you are making sure to get your protein. it won't magically transform your skating, but it can help with your fitness.
