Hungry Before Your Period? How Appetite Shifts Across the Menstrual Cycle
Megan joins Scott Tindal on Fuelin Sessions to discuss whether female athletes really need to eat more during different phases of their menstrual cycle. With research suggesting women consume an average of 168 additional calories per day during the luteal phase, does this reflect a genuine increase in energy needs, or are hormonal changes influencing hunger and cravings?They break down the latest research on menstrual cycles, appetite, and metabolism, and discuss practical ways female athletes can manage cravings while maintaining their nutrition and performance goals.STUDIES / ARTICLES MENTIONEDThe Effect of the Menstrual Cycle on Energy Intake: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysisEvidence for Periodizing Strength and/or Endurance Training According to Menstrual Cycle Phases to Optimize Female Athlete Performance Is LackingIncreased carbohydrate availability partially attenuates endocrine suppression in response to low-energy availabilityFuelin Article: Cutting Calories, Cutting Carbs: You may want to rethink that strategyMORE FROM FUELINFollow Fuelin on InstagramTry Fuelin for 14 Days

Do Athletes Really Need to Go Gluten-Free?
Dr. Alan McCubbin joins Scott Tindal on Fuelin Sessions to discuss whether athletes really need to go gluten-free. With so many athletes avoiding gluten in hopes of improving performance and reducing gut issues, is there actually any science to support it? And could cutting out gluten unnecessarily do more harm than good?

Can Exercise Undo a Bad Night’s Sleep? with Dr. Michael Ormsbee
Can a workout make up for a bad night’s sleep? Scott Tindal sits down with Dr. Michael Ormsbee, who directs Florida State University’s Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine (yes, the pre-sleep protein guy, and Scott has already asked him back for that one). Michael's lab pushed people’s bedtimes back until they lost 30% of their sleep, three nights running. In the sedentary group, cardiovascular function started to slip. The active group held. It doesn’t save everything. College women who lifted and binge drank kept their strength, but their glucose control still drifted. They also get into why journal reviewers won’t let Michael publish sleep stage data from wearables, and why his cross-country runners’ sleep a full week out still showed up on race day.STUDIES MENTIONEDBody Composition Changes in Postmenopausal Women After Twelve Weeks of Either Resistance or Aerobic Training (conference abstract, study ongoing)Resistance Training and Binge Drinking: Impacts on Glucose Regulation in Young Adult FemalesImpact of Exercise on Sleep in Postmenopausal Women With Obesity: A Pilot StudySleep Duration Correlates With Performance in Ultra-Endurance TriathlonPre-Sleep Milk-Derived Proteins Do Not Impair Sleep or Recovery in Elite Female AthletesEffects of Pre-Sleep Macronutrient Ingestion on Nocturnal and Morning Glycemic Responses in Elite Female Athletes: A Pilot StudyMORE FROM FUELINFuelin on Instagram Try Fuelin Free for 14 Days

Jan Frodeno Fueled Berlin and UTMB the Opposite Way
What does an Olympic champion eat when he’s racing for fun? Scott Tindal sits down with Jan Frodeno, Olympic gold medalist and three-time Ironman World Champion, to dig into how 100,000 lifetime kilometers and a bottle every 5K at 80 grams of carbs an hour added up to a 2:23 Berlin Marathon; why UTMB OCC a month earlier was the opposite story, with Jan running dry three times and drinking from a river; and how Scott is fueling the 80K Bondi to Manly Ultra he’s running for his son Jack.Fuelin on Instagram Try Fuelin Free for 14 Days

Dehydration Probably Isn't Causing Your Cramps
Why do some athletes cramp no matter how much salt they take? In this episode of Fuelin Sessions, Scott Tindal is joined by Dr Alan McCubbin, sports dietitian and Monash University researcher, to work through the three main theories of exercise-associated muscle cramps. They dig into why the dehydration and electrolyte story has struggled to hold up in the research and how Kevin Miller's multifactorial model treats each athlete's cramps as their own recipe. Alan's take: there's no single cause, so control as many of the controllables as you can.Martinez-Navarro I, Vicente-Mampel J, Lopez-Grueso R, Collado-Boira E, Recacha-Ponce P, Gomez-Sere T, Hernando C.

Three Hamstrings Off the Bone to Winning Her Age Group
What do you do when you tear all three hamstrings off the bone and the first people you ask tell you it's probably just a strain? Scott Tindal sits down with Jen Harrison, a Chicago triathlon coach and lifelong swimmer who fell on a trail in Tucson, got sent home from the ER on crutches, and waited four days for the diagnosis. They cover the two to three week surgery window she nearly missed, why she shifted toward protein before the operation, how she ate through six weeks of bedrest, isometrics starting three days post-op, and the motto she taped to her desk: fuel for the season you're in.Fuelin on Instagram Try Fuelin Free for 14 Days

Carb Loading for Nice 70.3 Worlds with Megan Foley
In this episode, Scott Tindal sits down with Megan Foley, sports dietitian and professional triathlete, straight off her Nice 70.3 World Championship start. They go through the numbers day by day, why her fat dropped to 30g and her protein to 80g, the case for drinking your carbs instead of eating them, and the decision to front load 200g on the climb because the descent gave her nowhere to fuel.

Does Taurine Work In The Heat with Alistair Brownlee
Can a supplement get you sweating earlier and racing cooler? Scott Tindal sits down with Alistair Brownlee, the only male triathlete to win back-to-back Olympic gold, who now runs True Fuels and has just launched a taurine supplement called CoreCTRL. They discuss what the taurine and heat studies actually measured, whether a bigger sweat rate leaves you short on fluid, and how much of that effect a properly heat-acclimated athlete has already banked. Alistair also walks through the Kona blow-up that pushed him to strip race nutrition back.The effect of 8-day oral taurine supplementation on thermoregulation during low-intensity exercise at fixed heat production in hot conditions of incremental humidityCoreCTRLAlistair Brownlee InstagramFuelin on Instagram
