Running on empty: Female athletes’ health and performance at risk from not eating enough

When the energy consumed from food becomes insufficient to meet the demands of high physical activity levels, a state of imbalance occurs called low energy availability. Low energy availability can disrupt hormones and metabolism in as little as five days. https://tinyurl.com/3wedwav5

@Hjluks Incredibly important. Don't build up deficits at the beginning that you will be digging out of most of your adult life. We need more aggressive messaging on staying active (not crazy sports levels). Obesity in early life can be an albatross you carry for decades!

You got to move it, move it.

Maybe it's just too simple for people to believe. All benefit, no downside, no cost. Too good to be true?

🔈Notice 🔈

🚫 The term “female athlete triad” is OUT.
✅ Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) is IN.

Any individual, regardless of gender, can have energy imbalance in the setting of increased energy expenditure!
