| | Pro skaters eat and drink for health and energy at the rink |
 | | Lucinda Ruh, whose spin has been clocked at a spectacular 270 revolutions a minute, and Jenni Meno and Todd Sand -- he proposed to Meno two hours before their short program at the 1994 Olympics -- know this. |
 | | Ruh, who was born in Zurich but has lived in Japan, England, Canada and California, gravitates to an Asian diet based on rice, which she cooks for herself each day in her hotel room. |
 | | Ruh, Sand and Meno do what registered dietitians recommend: load up on complex carbohydrates -- Ruh mixes red and green peppers and egg whites into her rice -- while including a little meat or seafood for protein. |
