519: Low-energy availability - what is it and why should the food industry care?

What is low-energy availability, and why should the food and drink industry care about it? We have made episodes in the past about how to fuel the bodies of athletes, but in this episode, we are focussing specifically on female athletes. And we are not just talking about people at the very elite level, like those competing at the Paris Olympics, we are also talking about people who live active lives. Low-energy availability is a big concern in the world of sport nutrition and it can have a huge impact on performance. The question is: What role can nutrition and, therefore, the food industry, play in helping people overcome it? Guest: Renee McGregor, Sports dietitian
