What kind of diet do ballet dancers follow?

Question

How many calories needed every day and what foods can you choose?

Answer 1

The amount of calories you need to receive the proper nutrition depends on your body weight, body fat, and other nutritional needs. The answer is different for everyone. As a ballet dancer myself with a very high metabolism I was able to eat 3000(5'3" 110 lbs) calories, while my younger sister was only able to eat about 1500(5'8" 140lbs?). I always ate pretty healthy and never snacked much between meals. I didn't necessarily diet and restrict myself though, and I was never told I needed to as long as I ate pretty healthy and worked out.

Answer 2

Water, lean protein.
