What do dancers eat?

What do ballet dancers eat on a daily basis?

• Hi, I was wondering what do professional ballet dancers eat on a daily basis, like their diet, what can they eat and what can they not? and whats the perfect weight for a 175cm male dancers weight to be for a pro ballet dancer thx?

• Answer:

  Just like anyone else, some professional dancers eat healthy and others eat junk. Some have to watch what they eat and others can eat what they want and not gain an ounce. Because muscle weighs more than fat and with male dancers (although held to a ballet body in regardes to bone structure) weight doesn't matter as much. They don't have to be lifted. What is more important is your training. If you need to lose weight your academy nutritionist will have a talk with you. If you aren't in the kind of school where there is a nutritionist who does this if necessary, it is also a good bet you aren't in the right training anyway and what you weight wouldn't matter much in that case.
