Cycle Synced Calorie Adjustment
Cycle synced calorie adjustment adds modest energy in luteal weeks when hunger rises—quality carbs and fats, not punitive premenstrual cuts that backfire for athletes.
Cycle synced calorie adjustment adds modest energy—often one to three hundred kilocalories from quality carbs and fats—in luteal weeks when hunger and resting needs rise, then holds or slightly trims follicular weeks only if weight trends and performance goals require it. Punitive cuts premenstrually backfire for many athletes.
Use two to three cycles of scale, performance, and hunger notes before rewriting targets. Hormones inform nudges, not excuses to ignore baseline needs.
Common questions
-
How many extra calories in the luteal phase?
Many people benefit from one to three hundred kilocalories from whole foods if hunger and performance dip on maintenance. Track trends; do not copy generic formulas without your data.
