How many calories an Olympic Champion eats in a day

[@EmmaAbrahamson]

This is a great example of what fueling your body looks like. I hope more young girls see this especially. Food is fuel!!!

[@finnpowell3733]

Emma you are the best

[@lainiritsch2192]

This healthy relationship with food reminded me of your content, Emma!!! Keep up the good work 👏🏻

[@mattofthenorth]

Coach says “eat to run not run so you can eat...you can do that when you retire” Well said Emma food IS fuel indeed.

[@GwenJorgensen]

See you around PDX

[@averybrull4313]

This video was so helpful I agree with Emma

[@erab6539]

I really like the content around food, and also the very genuine interactions between Gwen and Pat ❤️ they crack me up

[@monafatih]

Thank you for posting this it really helps. It feels good to follow someone on social media that has a relationship with food that is not obsessed with calories counting and diet-culture.

[@paullee8875]

Oats in Ireland are called Porridge. I never hear American's call it Porridge. Some useless info there😀 Anyway Oats / Porridge is the greatest pre run food Ever!!!

[@rasher331]

This is very interesting. I was just watching the worlds cross fit champion last week and she trains up to 8 hours in the gym and tries to hit 2500 calories a day but actually hits around 2200 sometimes. Shes only 5'4'' and weighs 137 during competition. Compared to you running cardio mainly and eating 3185 calories at 5'10'' and weighing 121. It just shows the amount of calories burnt through mainly pure cardio compared to weight bearing exercises mixed with shorter cardio.

[@paige1857]

she actually ate 2200 and aims for 2500.

[@rasher331]

@@paige1857 Sorry, I just edited it there. You're right, I got the numbers mixed up

[@GwenJorgensen]

every body is different. the majority of our calories burned are from BMR which is dependent on genetics, etc. I don't count calories, but instead eat diff daily fueling to train, not training to fuel...

[@brightlight7349]

Love seeing this people at my work keep commenting on how much I eat and it really irritates me ..I run a lot so seeing this makes me feel okay listening to my bodys needs and not people around me.

[@GwenJorgensen]

Yes yes our bodies are smarter than we give THem credit for. We know what we need just need to listen

[@mandala3042]

This youtube channel is going to be a family video goldmine for Gwen and Pat later. I'm sure it can be a struggle to document so much of your life like this, but I can already tell that these videos that seem like the least important ones right now are going to be the most special ones in 10 years. Stanley is adorable in this. Keep up the good work!!!

[@James-Runs-Winnipeg]

I like how its my cheat day and was halfway through some salt and vinegar chips when the notification for your video came up lol. That being said..another great video Gwen!

Such a good video!! An excellent reminder to eat enough, eat properly and eat lots of different kinds of food! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@catherinecolyn1324]

The hyper hydration is actually meant to be taken before your workout. I would suggest to use the Hydration mix and if you feel you need more while running then mix the wellness with it. Strawberry hydration and the wellness is my favourite go2. Then after the run if you’re still dehydrated then fill up one of skratchlabs Nalgene bottles with 1 scoop hydration and 1 packet of wellness. 🔥 (I’m also a skratch athlete, I’m from South Africa so super hot conditions is almost something I’ve learnt how to master ☺️)

[@Isabel-dm1vx]

Thank you for this video! I am an athlete/runner/fitness instructor and found this so helpful. I have struggled with an ED in the past and sometimes find it mentally challenging to eat enough for my high level of activity. This is such an excellent reminder for all those athletes out there to FUEL for optimal performance!

[@bdanza]

the best part of the video: "talbot is going to be really happy, you are up and down" .... That's what I was thinking the entire time.

[@aliciamutton4301]

Loved the video Pat! Great job. Best part was Stan (obviously) and the fact that it was a meat free day. Being vegetarian for 25 years it’s awesome to see you fueling your training with plant based foods!

[@Native-Kitty]

That dinner salad looked legit delicious! I really enjoyed this video. I always wondered how many calories an athlete like Gwen takes in. It was hilarious when she said “I’m excited for bed”.

[@matthewercolani1893]

So endearing! Gwen is the best Olympic champion ever!

[@arwensdorf8311]

This was such a great video! Ya’ll are too funny and I’m glad you shared everything you did, very fun. :) Love the vertical footage I knew Talbot would loooove it too 🤣 keep it up Gwen! P.S. I tried your hot chocolate with using dark chocolate with sea salt! It was AMAZING. Also tried your version. 😊

[@GwenJorgensen]

haha Pat didn't get my joke about the vertical video. And yes with sea salt sounds so gooood

[@mattofthenorth]

Looove me some oats! 😋 I trade garden veggies for 50 pound bulk bags of rolled oats at the co-op

[@kathrynstranex9685]

Amazing! Are you sure all the calculations are accurate though? I doubt 4 slices of watermelon is 300 calories?

[@GwenJorgensen]

1 slice of watermelon has 90 calories so 4 slices is equal

[@chole18]

Sunday oats are the best oats. I love your channel! You have me lookin forward to my next long run!

[@jackkinrowan]

So refreshing to see such a great attitude about food. Thank you.

[@downtown4850]

At first glance I thought that was a lot. But they are quality calories and that's what matters ! I would guess your metabolism is really fast . Everyone is different . Stanley needs a little Specialized to ride !

[@TheMrsBeagle]

She burns probably close to 2000 calories on a long run, so it makes sense! Add in basic basal metabolic needs, and she's right about there.

[@downtown4850]

@@TheMrsBeagle : Not sure if she hits 2000 on a run . Maybe a 16 miler

it's so funny you eat in secret.. watch out! -> Pat is there 😁 ..thanks for your channel, it's motivating for me ♥️

[@GwenJorgensen]

Not secret just don’t want to document just eat when hungry

[@sams7235]

4 slices of watermelon 300 cals??

[@soilgrasswaterair]

1000 g of watermelon is 300 calories...the count is way too high for 4 slices on that plate! Some other stuff also had a too high calorie count! It looked more like 50 g which is 30 calories for 4 slices! 5:17 The egg is not included in the dinner list. 💕 *Either way it’s lovely to see an athlete fuel their body, which sadly is an aspect many will refrain from due to various different reasons (and that’s when the joy is no longer a component, and it has become very unhealthy).*

[@GwenJorgensen]

ya we've never counted calories before. did our best but we aren't experts by any means

[@sofiaperalta9091]

Do you have any videos where you discuss hydration? I'm not very diligent about it or I'm doing it wrong because I get headaches after some of my longer runs and I'm almost certain they are from dehydration.

[@GwenJorgensen]

Coming soon

[@katydunn6064]

Salad dressing recipe please... Pat, where’s the cookbook?

[@GwenJorgensen]

[@pangboches7427]

I eat roughly 4000 calories daily and I’m not an Olympian. I’m 5’11 180 male and run every morning for 5 miles on average. I eat extremely healthy and I’m not built or skinny just average body shape. Am I eating a lot or is Gwen not eating a lot? Idk maybe metabolism or genetics play a bigger part than I realize. What do your long run days consist of? I’m assuming like half marathon

[@GwenJorgensen]

BMR is majority of calories so very individualistic and men burn more calories in general but again every person so diff

[@MontanaDior]

"He has syrup with the side of oats"... haha I'm not mad at it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@pumpkinpie82]

Is there anything better than watermelon after a long run? Nope! It's the best!!

[@sundeepjador2219]

Awsome Video Guys! Weather viewers agree or disagree with you dietary intake it works for you and your performance!! I do have a question about protein, do you supplement with a protein shake-Since I tore my hamstring Tendon I have been told I need to be having at least 1g to 1.2g or protein per pound of body weight and include collagen for the tendon repair.. Do you find you get enough protein?

No meat. How do you keep your iron levels high enough at altitude. I am perpetually low in iron. I blame the foot strike haemolysis and I do take supplements but I'm not happy about relying on them. Oh disclaimer for you, I won't expect a dietician answer, just interested.

[@GwenJorgensen]

I've struggled with iron deficency for years and this past year I started to incorporate plant based days to help save the enviornment and noticed my iron levels increasing! I can't explain it but it's what happened to me personally. I used to have meat at every meal and my iron was so low. Could be just change in age or hormones or my supplement or food related. Sorry don't have answers for you. Also I eat a lot more meat when I'm on my period, losing blood :) I've been eating around my period more (so focus on protein vs carb at diff parts of my cycle)
