Did You Know: Have you been consistently suffering stress fractures? An article I recently found revealed women who train to an athlete standard are often at risk of suffering Female Athlete Triad...this is a syndrome that involves disordered eating, low bone mass and amenorrhea and it is caused by a lack of good nutrition. The primary cause of athlete triad is Low Energy Availability which arises when energy expended exceeds energy consumed. Sportskeeda recommends: "Some tips that are essential to avoid Female Athlete Triad are maintaining diet in accordance to your energy requirements for the activity you do, not by appetite, as a high intake of carbohydrate in diet or expanded exercise reduces appetite. Females should also make sure that they have a healthy diet with good calcium and vitamin D intake. In case of recurrent illness, one should check for low energy input." So what do you think of the 1200 calorie diets out there now?
