Volvo: Nutrition at the Volvo Ocean Race
High winds are not the only concern for the seven crews competing in the round the world Volvo Ocean Race. Burning more than 6,000 calories a day, participants must ensure they consume well-balanced meals in order to keep their energy levels up and stay focused. Preserving the crew fitness is not the only requirement for this type of food: "Weight restrictions on board mean that all food must be energy dense to guarantee maximum nutrition for every bite". "Other things need to be taken into account too, such as the difficulties of eating under extreme conditions, the lack of time to prepare meals and the shift - roster system, the extreme temperatures, seasickness and boredom resulting from the limited choice of food for such a long time".
