Is eating too little bad for training? | You Deserve Well

Is eating too little bad for training?

Yes. Eating well below what you need makes you tired, hurts recovery and strength, lowers your mood and can disrupt your periods and bones over time. More exercise on too little food is a common route to burnout.

If your energy is poor, your periods become irregular or stop, or you get injured often, eat more and speak to your doctor.
