People who exercise may fail to meet the increased requirements
for energy, resulting in an adaptive thermogenesis (i.e., an
adaptation to the inadequate provision of energy) that improves
metabolic efficiency through an undesirable loss of fat-free mass.
In addition, energy and fluid intake are often mistimed, failing to
take full advantage of an eating and drinking paradigm that will
aid in fatigue resistance and attainment of a desired body composition
and weight. It is the objective of this article to help the
reader understand how eating small, frequent meals and consuming
fluid at regular intervals can sustain the hydration state and
avoid systematic shifts in within-day energy balance that could be
counterproductive to exercise performance and fitness.
