It’s generally recommended that athletes consume approximately
30 percent of their daily calories. It is not at all the fixed amount of
calories since different athletes playing in different type of games require
different amount of calories. For those athletes that require more than 1 hour
of continuous activity like the marathon runners, the amount of calorie
required to consume far exceeds 30 percent. In case of normal games player
activity normally does not continue for an hour. They do get breaks in the
middle.
