In this article, we describe a literature review about the aspects that characterize the food habits in athletes, the athletic performance and the maintenance of health of the athlete. The factors that influence the athlete´s nutritional education are many: food habits of childhood and adolescence, sports supplements, eating disorders and athletes performance. Primarily, the studies evaluated dietary intake of athletes, but they need to know their dietary practices during training and competition. it is important the dietary recommendations carried ??by dietitians-nutritionists, because the recommendations by parents and/or coaches may be incorrect and damaging to the athlete. Therefore, it´s becomes important the dietary assessment to understand the social context of the athlete to make the best intervention to improve health and athletic performance through nutrition.
