摘要：This study aimed to assess the nutritional profile of middle-distance runners. Fifty-six middle-distance runners (age: 22.0±5.4 years; weight: 63.1±5.8 kg; height: 174.7±5.8 cm) participated in the study. They had 7.4±4.8 years of athletic experience and trained 8.1±1.7 sessions per week. Nutritional data were obtained through a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire created by the Nutritional Epidemiology Department of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Portugal. The conversion of foods in nutrients was carried out through the Food Processor Plus program, version 7.0. Daily average energy intake was 3014±913 kcal (1497-4900), corresponding to the following relative nutrient consumptions: carbohydrates 54.0±6.7% (6.5±2.3 g.kg-1.day-1), fat 29.5±5.0% (1.6±0.6 g.kg-1.day-1) and protein 16.4±2.9% (1.9 ±0.6 g.kg-1.day-1). Vitamins D and biotin ingestion was under the recommendations. Macro- and micromineral consumption exceed the recommendations. The mains results point out to a low carbohydrate intake, under the recommendations for endurance athletes. Protein intake is excessive. Fat as well as vitamin (with exception of vitamins D and biotin) and mineral intakes, are adequate. A significant percentage of the subjects had very low energy intakes what can negatively affect performance and health. Key words: Macronutrients; Vitamins; Minerals; Energy Consumption; Endurance Athletes.
