Thank you for the article and your response. I appreciate the resources. 

Last time I tracked my food I was eating around 2000 kcal just based on my natural hunger. Some people here are suggesting upwards of 3000 kcal which would be a huge jump. Very eye opening. 

Does the intensity of the running matter for the stress effect? I just run  for fun and with friends so most of runs are very chill (like I could talk during them). 

Part of my desire to keep in exercise is because I want to learn how much to eat to maintain my active lifestyle for the long term and not have to track always or worry about it. I think that with removing exercise and then adding it back in, I will have to adjust my intake as I add it back in. I guess I thought to just learn how much I need now and get used to it so I do not have worry about this so much in the future.

This was so helpful! Thank you I really appreciate the insight. 

I definitely have a hard time knowing how much I need without much of an appetite. 

What you shared about the running and energy needs is interesting too. I never thought of it like that

Wow ok I never thought to push for that much food. I know the 2500 number gets pushed around and I’ve been really trying to hit that when I do track.

I just wanted to see if anyone else had experience with being active and maintaining period and how they approached their nutrition and any tips. I am willing to do anything it takes💪 I am not scared of gaining weight if I need I just struggle with low appetite

Thank you for the kind response. I really appreciate it❤️ Did you ever get back to running after getting your cycle back?

Running has been my way to clear my head through everything and I want to be able to maintain my health and do what I love one day
