AB Most  individuals,  including  athletes,  maintain  a  stable  body  mass  (BM)  over  long  periods  of  time,  while  paying  little  attention  to  the  amount  of  energy  consumed  or  expended  each  day.  However,  energy  balance  is  of  primary  concern  to  athletes  who  want  to  alter  BM  and/or  composition  to  improve  their  exercise  performance  or  meet  a  designated  weight  requirement  for  their  sport.  When  energy  consumption  is  insufficient  to  match  that  expended,  much  of  the  effort  of  training  can  be  lost,  since  both  muscle  and  fat  will  be  used  for  energy.  In  addition,  if  energy  intake  is  limited  or  restricted,  the  ability  to  obtain  other  essential  nutrients,  such  as  carbohydrate  (CHO),  protein,  fat,  vitamins  and  minerals—which  are  necessary  for  optimal  sport  performance  and  good  health—will  also  be  compromised.
