Background and Objective: Energy intake restriction practice is found to be a commonly behavior among gymnastics athletes which places them in potential risk of malnutrition. Gymnastics athletes need adequate nutrition intake in order to attain optimal performance. Well-programmed training combined with proper diet as their individual nutrition requirement can help, not only to decrement body fat, but also to establish appropriate somatotype. Methodology: A study involving 16 youth gymnastics athletes (12-18 years old) from Ragunan, Jakarta and Indonesia was done in 2015. Anthropometric measurement was done to identify somatotype and body composition. Measurement of foods and fluids intake was done by food recall 24 h and semi-quantitative fluid frequency. Results: The results showed 31% artistic gymnast athletes were stunting and 8% artistic gymnast athletes were severe stunting. The mean of somatotype in artistic gymnastics male athletes were 2.1-4.5-2.8 (ectomorphic mesomorph) while female were 3.1-2.6-2.7 (central). Rhythmic gymnast female athletes were identified to be 3.1-1.8-3.2 (endomorph-ectomorph). Conclusion: Both of gymnastics sports had poor mean of energy intake while fluid intake was found to be vary.
