Are you losing training days because of Low Energy Availability?
Did you know that if we have low energy availability we are 3x more likely to have to take time off training due to illness?
That could mean about 3 weeks lost training throughout the year due to injury or delayed recovery - and that's not even considering the higher risk of stress fractures and bone breaks.
An absent or irregular menstrual cycle is one of the most obvious red flags that our bodies as female athletes are in a state of low energy availability and should serve as a warning sign.
Small changes to the way we fuel around training can have a huge impact on our energy availability, health and overall performance.
As little as 300kcal a day could be the difference to keep your body strong, healthy and performing optimally.
