Periods & Nutrition Q&A: How to know if "a lot" is "enough" for energy availability


Listen Later

"I've found that athletes vastly underestimate their [energy] needs," shares Heather Caplan RDN, co-founder of Lane 9, in this Q&A-style episode. 

Listen for this one if you're wondering...

  • How often is it okay to have sweet things/desserts?
  • Is it possible to have REDs without weight loss/changes?
  • Why am I not getting my period back, even though I'm eating a lot more?

This one tackles flexibility with food, decades of carb-fearing and how it probably still impacts what most people eat on a daily basis...even in sports, weight stigma in athletics and the variety of REDs symptoms, and what "a lot" might actually mean, when it comes to eating for energy availability.
