If you’ve been tuning in to the Winter Olympics for a while, you’re probably familiar with speed skater Apolo Ohno and ski racer Julia Mancuso. Both Team USA alums have plenty of experience using workouts and nutrition as training tools, and they’ve got the medals to prove it.

But once your time competing in the Winter Olympic Games is over, how does your daily diet change? EatingWell chatted with Ohno, 43, and Mancuso, 41, to find out. The duo recently partnered with ready-to-eat meal delivery service Factor to create the brand’s Gold Collectiona line of meals, smoothies, juices and snacks designed to help customers eat like an Olympian while staying nourished and focusing on their goals. Here’s how Ohno and Mancuso eat today to stay fit—even with the Olympic Games in the rear view.

How does your diet today differ from when you were competing in the Olympics? And which kinds of foods do you prioritize now?

Ohno: My diet’s actually not too much different than it used to be. I would say it tastes a lot better now. Before, I just didn’t use much seasoning, but I stuck to the same kind of macros, right? Salmon is a big part of my diet. Chicken is a big part of my diet, and I backfill with some healthy carbohydrates and vegetables. I feel my best when I’m having a balanced meal.

Mancuso: I’d say very similarly. The only difference is now I have three kids, so I really have to prioritize eating well because it’s easy for me to skip meals. Protein seems harder to make all the time, and it’s so easy to just grab carbs. So I also prioritize protein because I’m trying to keep up with three kids. It’s the same as when I was ski racing.

Has there been anything that’s surprised you, getting into your 40s, that you’ve had to change with your nutritional needs?

Ohno: I would say it’s the consistency of my eating: My brain works better, my body works better and my mind works better when I’m eating consistently, so it’s something that’s become a priority in my life. It’s just different. I’m obviously not training three or four times a day, but I’m very active. I train every day and try to do some kind of activity. What I eat today is probably not too dissimilar to what people think I eat.

Mancuso: It used to be that if I thought I was eating healthy—but I wasn’t eating enough proteins and I was carbo-loading too much—the next day I felt it in my legs. Now, as a mom and maybe more of a normal human, when I don’t eat well, I feel it in my brain.

What I find to be so important is to go back to that pro level of eating so that my mind functions properly, because it’s easy to skip meals… and then all of a sudden, I’m spinning. It’s kind of like my body is telling me, don’t forget to eat well.

When you watch the Olympics now, what are your favorite events to watch? And do you have any favorite Olympic-watching snacks?

Ohno: I love short track speed skating. I’m in Milan right now—I’ve been here since the Opening Ceremonies—and when I come back, it’s like a reunion. But like, today, we were so busy I haven’t had time to eat much. But I’ve been bringing around my water bottle with electrolytes so even if I don’t have access to a meal when I’m sprinting out the door, at least my body’s getting hydrated and then I’ll try to backfill at the end of the day.

Mancuso: Skiing. I think it’s hard not to say the sport that you competed in is not your favorite sport. I’m in California now, and with the time difference, I’ve been waking up and trying to watch the races in the middle of the night. That’s been tough, but it’s also been exciting.
