🪫 Low Energy Availability - one of the most under recognised issues in athletes

It doesn’t always look extreme & it doesn’t always affect elite athletes 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️

It can happen when you’re:
🏋️‍♀️ Training consistently
🥗 Trying to eat ‘healthy’
📆 Managing a busy life
📉 Dieting while exercising

If your body doesn’t have enough energy left after exercise to support basic psychological function, it starts adapting ♻️

That adaption can look like:
💤 Fatigue
🛑 Hormone disruption
🩸 Irregular menstrual cycle
🪫 Poor recovery
😕 Low mood
🤕 Increased risk of injury and illness

Your body isn’t broken, it’s protecting you 🛡️

Fuel is not optional - it’s essential for performance and long term health 🩺👋🏼

If this sounds like something you need help with DM me FUEL and let’s get you at your best ✅🙌🏼

⚡️5 habits to implement in 2026 to support your body & perform at your best⚡️

I’m calling out some of the most common mistakes I see when it comes to sports nutrition and fueling for performance - and giving you practical tips to solve them ✅

It’s so common for athletes, especially female athletes, to restrict themselves - this not only affects your performance but also your body and long term health 🥲

In 2026 I challenge you to prioritise fueling yourself with the right foods, focusing on timing as well, and see how you notice a difference 👏🏼😮‍💨 - don’t forget I’m always here to support if you’re struggling ❤️

🥾A weekend in the Brecon Beacons🥾

Back home after a gorg weekend getting some steps in with gorg surroundings 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⛰️ (& ready to sleep for 12 hours 😴😂)

Walks we did:
- Llyn y Fan Fach
- Pen Y Fan for sunrise 🌅
- Henrhyd Falls

Of course there were plenty of snacks along the way - I feel people often underestimate the amount of energy you use when hiking (particularly up a mountain) 🏔️

You’re body still needs plentyyyyy of carbs to keep your energy stores high & fuel your legs to keep powering you on 🙌🏼 - ever noticed you’re feeling a little shaky at the end of a hike? You should’ve probably had a few more sweets 🍬😅

Some of the snacks we took along with us to keep us well fueled⚡️
- cereal bars 🥣
- sweets 🍬
- fruit 🍇
- pain au chocolat 🍫
- crisps 🥔
- Lucosade 🧃

These helped
⚡️keep energy stores high
💪🏼 supported muscle fueling and recovery
⚖️ support electrolyte balance
🥰 add nice little sweet treats on the way round

So, pick your snacks & get out for a wander 🥾🙌🏼

🫶🏼 2025 recap 🫶🏼

Honestly felt this year had been a bit rubbish until I went to make this, it’s actually had a lot of fun times, a lot of hard work, and a lot of progress - despite December writing me off & a few tears (and a lot of coffee ☕️) along the way 😅🥲

I’ve learnt a lot and feeling ready to go into 2026 with a focus on helping athletes fuel their bodies to perform at their best & get the best from their training 🫡⚡️🙌🏼

2026 I’m coming for you 👋🏼✅

🩵 Nov 25 🩵

The month of slowing down 😌🫶🏼

Honestly this month has absolutely passed me by 😅 how is it December tomorrow!?! 🎄❄️🎁

Some highlights ✨
🤍 Most gorg gals weekend away in Poole
🍃 Countryside wanders with friends
🥪 best sandwich ever from 😍
💇🏼‍♀️ Chopped my hair off
🏃‍♀️ Getting back to some consistency with the gym and running (apart from this last week where I’ve been feeling absolutely rotten 🤧🥲)
📚 Started the last masters module of 2025 (and last one for a while…)

What’ve you been up to this month? 🫶🏼

👋🏼 A little bit about me…

It’s been a while and there are a few new faces round here (welcome!) so let me give a brief introduction to myself & why I do what I do 🫶🏼

First of I love a bit of gym, running, yoga, and spending time with my gorg friends 🤍 (when I do get free time 😅)

I started this page way back in first year of uni (2020 😮) during covid sharing recipes & nutrition tips with no aim - just a bit of fun (and distraction from doing uni work 😂)

Once I’d graduated, the page became dietitianellen to reflect my new status 💁🏼‍♀️😮‍💨 and the page shifted towards nutrition tips alongside sharing the odd recipe 🥘

While in my final year of uni, I completed my first half marathon 🏃‍♀️🙌🏼 however lost 5kg due to under-eating, and had no fueling strategy (other than scranning a few jelly babies) which resulted in me hitting ‘the wall’ and coming short of my goal time by 6 minutes ⏳🥲 - despite being an almost qualified dietitian, I knew nothing about Sports Nutrition other than what I’d learnt from Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️

Since graduating, I’ve completed my PgCert in Sports Nutrition and really solidified the power of nutrition in this area. Adequate fueling isn’t an added bonus within sports, it’s essential - even for those who consider themselves amateur athletes 🫡

Under-nourishment can have long term consequences on our health and performance - I’ve learnt that the hard way, and I want to help others to prevent this happening to them ❤️

Join me on my journey & hopefully I can help you on yours 🏅
