KNOW THE SIGNS!! ⚠️
Underfueling can lead to LEA (low energy availability), which means limited energy available to support training/exercise and basic biological functions.
📑 A 2022 study shows that 65% of over 200 female endurance athletes were at risk of LEA. Another study showed 80% female cross country runners show risk of LEA.
Prolonged LEA aka not eating enough, has serious consequences, such as irregular periods (shouting this again...NOT NORMAL) which then disrupts your hormone; negative impact on your skeletal system; brain fog 🧠 (hello for those people that work crazy work hours!); depressed immunity; low libido; GI complications; anemia and much more.
This goes for everyone, but specifically targeting women. Because females are notorious for undereating, especially in sport. As an active women, you NEED to eat enough. For most active women 🏃🏼♀️, eating well more than 2000 calories with a mixture of carbs, protein and fat is what is needed to support your body.
