I didn’t realize I was underfueling… because I was eating “healthy.”
I thought underfueling meant barely eating. Like restriction. Fasting. Cutting meals.
But I was eating. I was eating what I thought was healthy: salads, yogurt, pasta, veggies.
Except — I was crashing mid-run. Foggy. Irritable. Skin rashes and just feeling bit of a mess. Craving sugar when I do t normally have a sweet tooth, like my body was screaming.
Turns out underfueling doesn’t always look like not eating or skipping meals.
It often looks like not eating enough of what your body actually needs to perform.
→ Not enough carbs before a run
→ Not enough total calories to support your training load
→ Too much “clean, low-calorie” food and not enough glycogen-building, energy producing foods
And the wild part? Most female runners think they’re doing everything right — when their body is quietly fighting to survive, not thrive.
If you’re training consistently but still feel off — low energy, flat progress, random cravings — or might be a sign you’re missing something in your diet.
That’s exactly what we start to pinpoint in my 1:1 Fuelled to Finish program. Let me know if you’d like to chat.
