Description
How many calories should a dancer be eating?
From my decade of experience, I can confidently say that many dancers (and athletes, for the most part) underestimate their calorie needs. Since calories provide the energy needed to not only perform but also sustain basic metabolic functioning, then eating too few calories risks injury and nutrient deficiencies. And because calories are a widely confusing and sometimes misguided topic, I want to cover a few common questions.
