Nutrition: Signs You're Actually Eating Enough as an Athlete (and How to do That!), with Dietitian KC Stockmon

"The [symtpoms] of under-fueling, and REDs, make it a lot harder to meet your [calorie] needs," shares dietitian KC Stockmon. "It's kind of this vicious cycle."  We're here to talk about how many calories an athlete actually needs to be eating, WHY it's important to eat enough, and the symptoms of under-fueling. The problem is, under-fueling is so common in athletics that athletes are quick to dismiss their symptoms as just "part of training". When actually, if the body has the energy—aka calories—that it needs to function well *and* recover from your training sessions, you might feel great. You just don't know what you don't know.  That's why we're here, in Lane 9, with reminders to eat enough, fuel before during and after training sessions, and connect with sport-specialized healthcare providers when you need to!
