A small soup pot with medicinal materials and ingredients, worth more than 2000 yuan. From 6 am to 5 pm, it takes 1 1 hour to cook a pot of soup, which is only enough for 8 athletes. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is drawing near, and the national teams of all sports are fully preparing for it. Nutritional diet is also an important aspect that can not be ignored in winning the gold medal. What to eat and how to eat can make athletes ensure adequate nutrition in the competition? In order to have a deeper understanding of this, the reporter recently came to the Training Bureau of the State Sports General Administration and "visited" several training bases. The management center of more than ten kinds of fencing sports, the staple food of fencing team, recently hired a nutritionist, and the reporter chose this as the first stop. Gao Ming, head of the scientific research and medical team, told reporters that the competitive level is getting higher and higher, and the gap between the top teams is not big. In order to achieve good results, the role of diet is more and more important. Fencers need to maintain a high degree of concentration in the competition. Eat more polysaccharide food, drink more water and eat less meat. The lunch time of the fencing team is from 1 1: 30 to 13: 30, and the reporter was led to the athletes' restaurant by the pungent smell. The staff set a series of delicious meals on the buffet table. Generally speaking, it can be summed up in eight words: "the combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious and delicious." In the restaurant, nutritionist Li became the reporter's "food companion". He said: "It is very important for fencers to supplement sugar. Therefore, the restaurant prepares more than 10 staple foods for athletes to choose from every day. There are many kinds of staple foods, which can attract athletes to taste more and increase the intake of staple foods at once. " Steamed bread, flower rolls, rice, four kinds of steamed buns, fried cakes, patties, sesame cakes, Cantonese fried noodles, western-style seafood noodles, zhajiang noodles, taro and a *** 14 staple foods. The reporter was deeply impressed by the types of staple foods. The menu will not be resampled for three months. Li went on to say, "all dishes are light in taste, and less oil and more nutrition is our aim." There are only two or three pure meat dishes per meal, mainly beef and mutton; Fish is served twice a meal and basically does not repeat every month. Fruit, yogurt, fresh juice and soup are important means to ensure athletes' water supplement. "When athletes are cooking, the waiter standing in front of the buffet will introduce them to the raw materials and practices of the dishes. Nutritionist Li recommended dishes with high nutritional value to key athletes, and the restaurant chef carefully recorded the opinions of athletes on dishes, which can be described as a trinity. Zhang Fuming said: "Our center attaches great importance to athletes' diet. In order to make athletes better adapt to foreign diets, we also hired western chefs this year. Now there is a western food every day, and this amount will be gradually added. After all, western food is more nutritious. In order to ensure the freshness of athletes to food, our recipes will not be repeated within three months. " Master Zhang smiled when he saw that the athletes were eating more and more fragrant. Cooking soup in the canteen of the training bureau is expensive. The Training Bureau of the State Sports General Administration trains table tennis, basketball, gymnastics, swimming, volleyball, track and field and other national teams 13 people all the year round. It can be said that this is the largest producing area of China Olympic gold medals, and it is also the second stop of journalists' "food tour". The reporter walked into the athletes' restaurant of the Training Bureau and found a large basin of chilled mung bean soup on the table, which became the most popular "drink" for athletes. Since May, the highest temperature in Beijing has reached more than 30 degrees Celsius for several days. In order to ensure the normal training of athletes in hot weather, the restaurant specially prepared iced mung bean soup for the players to cool off the heat. Because there are more than 400 people dining here, many athletes have to drink two or three bowls, so only four pots of mung bean soup can be provided for one lunch. The Training Bureau of the General Administration has 13 national teams training here, and different events have different dietary characteristics. The buyer and chef of the restaurant have worked here for a long time and have become "experts". It is gradually concluded that beef can enhance endurance and is more suitable for volleyball teams. Plant protein can enhance the flexibility of the body, control salt, and is suitable for gymnastics teams. Grain produces heat quickly and is suitable for swimming teams; Seafood can provide explosive power and is suitable for track and field teams ... In addition to daily dishes, the secret of supplementing nutrition for athletes in the canteen of the Training Bureau is to make soup. Beef, soft-shelled turtle and black-bone chicken are essential, and sometimes shark's fin and abalone will also become soup. In the interview, Master Han told reporters that a small soup pot with good herbs and ingredients is worth more than 2,000 yuan. From 6 am to 5 pm, 1 1 hour cooks a pot of soup, which is only enough for 8 people, so it can only take care of key athletes. Master Han said: "In addition to preparing meals for restaurants every day, our chefs are often seconded by the national team. At present, women's volleyball, table tennis and badminton have all taken our chefs to other places for training. Link: Special software tracks the nutritional status of athletes. The State Sports General Administration attaches great importance to athletes' diet. They regularly organize chefs from various training bases to attend nutrition catering classes, and also send experts to various bases to give nutrition classes to athletes. In addition, the Sports Nutrition Research Center of the State Sports General Administration has developed a set of relatively mature software for athletes' nutrition analysis system after more than one year of research and development. Dr Yi Mu Qing, head of the department, told the reporter: "This software records, analyzes and tracks athletes' diet and nutrition. This can not only help us understand the eating habits of key athletes, but also let us understand the nutritional value of catering in sports bases from a micro perspective. Through the calculation of dish parameters by this software, we will stop the dishes with excessive oil or poor nutrition ratio or put forward suggestions for improvement. "According to reports, this nutritional evaluation system was put into use in the pilot bases such as the Training Bureau of the State Sports General Administration and the fencing center in early May this year. In the next three months, each pilot base will input recipes, that is, analyze the ingredients and nutritional value of dishes and athletes' evaluation of each dish through this evaluation system. The obtained data will be an important basis for the sports nutrition research center to formulate high-quality gold medal recipes.
