"Over the years, I've kind of learned what I need because it does sometimes change, if I'm doing well or if I don't feel like I'm doing well."
"I just focus on things that I can prep easily. My morning is pretty much set. I don't even have to think about it very much."
"I try to get a full meal in within an hour of when I finish practice, as the body is best optimized for nutrient intake after a hard workout. That was something I learned from a young age."
Katie Ledecky trains roughly four hours a day split into morning and afternoon sessions, often waking at 5:00 a.m. for a 6–8 a.m. practice that includes swimming and strength work. She eats a light carbohydrate snack before morning practice, typically an oatmeal packet and a banana. After practice she usually drinks a Core Power protein shake and aims to eat a full meal within an hour, frequently featuring eggs. She cooks most meals at home in Florida, favors simple, repeatable breakfasts, eats leftovers for lunch, and commonly chooses veggie omelets, fresh fruit, and protein-packed dinners while not strictly tracking daily protein intake.
