Age, weight, education level, national and international success, monthly income level, weight loss status, adequate nutrition, level of knowledge about nutrition, fluid consumption, diet before the competition and whether they use ergogenic materials A questionnaire was applied to indicate that they did not use it. The square test in statistical operations was used. Nutritional deficiency has not been reported in terms of education level, monthly income level, competition category, weight, national or international in male and female weightlifters at the national and international level. Again, there were no differences in weight reduction in terms of education level, monthly income level, competition category, weight, whether it is national or international in male and female weightlifters at the National and International level. As a result of this study, the following recommendations can be made: The daily nutritional levels of more male and female weightlifters should be observed in more detail and associated with weightlifting performance. Weight adjustment practices related to male and female weightlifters can be correlated with performance by making more detailed measurements. The competition performances of both male and female weightlifters after their diets should be correlated. Athletes' awareness training on nutrition should be planned and implemented without considering the whole of society.
