What will Happen If an Athlete Consumes too many Calories?
Like any average person, if you eat too much food or take in too many calories then you will gain weight. The same thing happens with athletes!
What will Happen If an Athlete doesn’t Consume enough Calories?
Not eating enough is very dangerous especially for athletes. The athlete’s performance level will drop due to not enough energy. It can also lead to passing out and create concussions. Some research shows that after not eating, your body starts to eat away the lining of your stomach, wears down the muscle, and uses the fat stored away trying to get as much energy as possible.
