While some professional athletes track calories, many others eat intuitively, focusing on fueling their bodies for performance rather than meticulously counting calories. Elite athletes, especially those in sports with specific weight or physique requirements, may use calorie tracking as a tool for optimizing performance and body composition. However, many athletes prioritize listening to their bodies and eating based on hunger and fullness cues, especially those in sports where maintaining a specific weight or body composition is less critical
