For being the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history, Katie Ledecky's philosophy around nutrition is surprisingly relaxed.

For one, she doesn't strictly track her daily protein intake. "Over the years, I've kind of learned what I need because it does sometimes change, if I'm doing well or if I don't feel like I'm doing well," Ledecky, 28, told Business Insider.

Since graduating from Stanford in 2020, her class-free schedule also gives her more time to rest and cook her own meals between her two blocks of daily training sessions. To keep things simple, she eats mostly the same breakfasts every day and usually has leftovers from the previous night's dinner for lunch.

"I just focus on things that I can prep easily," Ledecky said. "My morning is pretty much set. I don't even have to think about it very much."
