FUEL WELL. TRAIN SUSTAINABLY.

Know what remains.

Estimate your energy availability after training and explore what a well-fueled day might look like.

EA = (intake − net exercise expenditure) ÷ fat-free mass

01 / CALCULATE

Your energy, at a glance.

All values describe the same 24-hour period.

Enter your details

Use exercise expenditure above resting expenditure, not all-day calories. If you tick gross, enter exercise duration below to approximate resting energy during exercise.

This is an estimate, not a diagnosis of LEA or RED-S. Higher EA does not rule out RED-S.

Training sessions

Sessions shape meal timing and training fuel. Their durations do not estimate exercise expenditure; enter combined net exercise calories above.

Example food combinations and calories are approximate. Portion sizes are illustrative, not a tailored dietary prescription. During-session fuel is counted inside your daily total, not added on top. Avoid treating a single-day calculation as a clinical target.

03 / UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER

Understand the science.

What does EA measure?

EA is dietary energy left after exercise, divided by fat-free mass. It differs from energy balance: everyday movement and resting metabolism aren't subtracted from this formula.

Low EA and RED-S

Prolonged or severe low energy availability can contribute to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), affecting recovery, bone health, immunity and other body systems. Evaluation considers symptoms and health history—not this number alone.

References, not verdicts

Values near 30 and 45 kcal/kg FFM/day largely originate from research in women. Reliable cutoffs, especially for men, aren't established. Neither number diagnoses or excludes RED-S.
