Does any body know how jockeys make diet?

Question

i want to know wat can they eat and wat they do eat during racing

Answer 1

Well I think I can easily answer this question because I am a jockey. Usually, at home I try to eat as healthy foods as possible. When I don't have some races for a while, and only then, and if I never ate for a while, then I will take myself for a small treat, like McDonalds or a non-fast-food restaurant. During races, I tend to get pretty nervous and I will eat healthy foods like fruits (apples, oranges, bananas), yogurt (strawberry, orange, strawberry-banana, plain), and a lot of water and Propel. I try to eat that and only that. If you are planning on being a jockey, good choice!

Answer 3

It varies from jockey to jockey, some find it easier to make low weights than others.

I remember a few years ago Tony McCoy was trying to waste down to 10 stone to make weight for a handicap race and he said at the time his daily food intake consisted of a cup of sugary tea and one slice of dry toast for breakfast, a couple of jaffa cakes for lunch and a skinless chicken breast and handful of steamed veg for dinner.

He was also spending an hour or so in a sauna before racing each day so that he could sweat off the additional weight.

It is not a fun lifestyle.

The problem is that jockeys tend to starve themselves rather than eat carefully.  The authorities are slowly introducing nutritionists in to the sport to help advise the jockeys, but it will take a long time to break some of their habits.
