Eating less isn’t always better.
Cutting calories while continuing to train hard can stop helping your goals and start working against your body.
And I’m not just talking about fat loss.
Chronically underfueling can affect your hormones, menstrual cycle, bone health, digestion, recovery, sleep, metabolism, training performance, and ability to build or maintain muscle.
In this episode, I break down:
* What low energy availability actually means
* Why underfueling can negatively impact bone density and increase injury risk
* Why menstrual cycles can become irregular or disappear
* How your body adapts metabolically when energy availability stays low
* Why gut issues, feeling cold, poor sleep, hair loss, and stalled progress can show up
* Why doing MORE exercise isn’t always the answer
* How I help clients slowly increase calories, carbs, and fats while adjusting their training
* Why biofeedback and performance can sometimes tell us more than obsessing over the scale
The goal is to make sure you’re actually giving your body enough energy to support the life and training you’re asking it to handle.
Sometimes you need to fuel your body better and eat more carbs. 😎
🎯 If you’re training hard, eating less and less, and still feel like your body is fighting you, I’d love to help you figure out what’s actually going on.
