It’s often asked of people “are you training t $It’s often asked of people “are you training too much?” “are you over exercising?” ⛹🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ Interesting thing is the human body is capable of quite incredible things, but what it does need is fuel. The question often isn’t raised “are you eating enough?”🤔⠀ ⠀ I am often more concerned that my clients aren’t eating enough more so than that they are training too much. Most people don’t have an understanding of the amount of fuel that is required.⠀ ⠀ The formal term is RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and can be monitored easier with females due to the menstrual cycle. In men it is more challenging due to no menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is a woman’s monthly report card and gives us many clues.⠀ ⠀ 🚴🏼‍♀️ In men we can look for cues such as poor training and recovery, sleep disruption, low testosterone, drops in libido, history of stress fractures and thyroid function can be an indicator.⠀ ⠀ Other symptoms can include: increased fatigue 😴 poor training adaptations, feeling the cold on warm days 🥶 fear of food or food restriction, avoiding rest days, exercising to “earn food”. Side note: you never need to earn your food or exercise food/calories off.⠀ ⠀ Some athletes are actively restricting food and others just aren’t aware of the signs or the required intake. Ongoing energy deficiency can lead to injuries, poor immune function, weak bones, infertility, anxiety and disordered eating.⠀ ⠀ If you would like any nutrition guidance or some of the symptoms sound familiar, I am happy to help 🌱💛$
