Diet for Dancers by Robin D. Chmelar and Sally S. Fitt is a practical guide to nutrition and weight management written specifically with the needs of dancers in mind.
Based on research involving dancers, the book examines nutrition, exercise, metabolism, body composition, and approaches to reaching and maintaining an appropriate body weight for dance. It also discusses what and when to eat, meal planning, dietary fads and frauds, and eating disorders.
The book explains an Exchange System for diet planning and provides exchange lists for structured meal planning. Combining nutritional information with the particular physical demands and body-weight concerns encountered in dance, it serves as a specialized reference for dancers and those studying dance health and conditioning.
