In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Carl Langan-Evans and Dr. Reid Reale discuss the review paper 'Nutritional Considerations for the Female Athlete in Weight Category Sports' which we all published in the European Journal of Sports Science at the beginning of the year. We discuss what the evidence really says and how accurate the statements are that female athletes should change their diet and training at different stages of their cycle. We finish with what we know to be true in the evidence and what actually makes a real difference in practice.
