[quote=Anonymous]OP - Her coach and your instincts are absolutely correct. Based on her unintentional weight loss, she is not getting enough food to fuel her activity level. Teen girls are trained to think of foods as good or bad, but those rules don’t always work for athletes. And they are told thinner is better for performance, so they don’t worry when they are losing weight unintentionally. It is a big problem for girls in sports and can easily result in increased injuries and disordered eating. Learn about Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (RED-S) https://red-s.com/about Having been through this with a teen girl, I strongly recommend making sure you have her iron levels checked regularly. As for personalized nutrition advice from a dietician, we found Rebecca Scritchfield in DC very helpful in a very similar case. https://www.capitolnutritiongroup.com/ [/quote]
