调酒师为大赛推迟进食，营养师提出健康隐忧

33岁的澳大利亚酒吧经理卡伊拉·斋藤为备战世界级调酒师大赛，采取了延迟进食的饮食模式，每天第一餐在下午4点进行1。她将在10月代表澳大利亚参加在苏格兰举办的Diageo World Class Global Finals1。

对于这一做法，营养师乔安娜·麦克米兰表示，"你的饮食方案中最大的风险不在吃什么，而在什么时候吃"1。她指出，长时间不进食会影响专注力、肌肉恢复和能量补充1。麦克米兰建议制作早餐平滑饮料可在途中饮用，同时全天补充营养小食，以维持更稳定的能量和营养供应1。

Kayla Saito, a 33-year-old bar manager, has adopted a delayed eating pattern in preparation for the World Class Bartender Competition, consuming her first meal of the day at 4pm 1. She will represent Australia at the Diageo World Class Global Finals in Scotland in October 1.

Dietitian Dr Joanna McMillan has weighed in on Saito's regimen, noting that while her food choices are sound, the timing poses concerns 1. "The biggest risk in your regimen isn't what you're eating, it's when," McMillan stated 1. The extended fasting period can compromise focus, muscle recovery, and energy replenishment throughout the day, according to the dietitian's assessment 1.

McMillan recommended Saito adjust her eating schedule and incorporate nutrient-dense snacks across the day 1. She specifically suggested starting with "a breakfast smoothie...so you can drink it on the move" to better fuel her preparation for the competition 1.
