AB  - Confounding influences of varying fat, protein, and carbohydrate (CHO) levels, 
      training habits, and lifestyle patterns make the interpretation of specific 
      influences of the diet on endurance performance unclear. In general, exhaustion 
      during prolonged, hard endurance exercise is tied to low muscle glycogen stores. 
      Athletes in heavy training are urged to consume 70% of calories as CHO to 
      maximize body CHO stores. A deemphasis in animal products with an emphasis in 
      high-CHO plant foods would facilitate athletes in conforming to nutritional 
      recommendations. Some female athletes may increase their risk of iron deficiency 
      and/or amenorrhea if a restrictive vegetarian diet is adopted. In general, the 
      high-CHO nature of the vegetarian diet can help the endurance athlete in heavy 
      training maximize body glycogen stores and thus the ability to perform. The 
      balanced vegetarian diet provides the athlete with added reduction in coronary 
      risk factors while meeting all known nutritional needs.
