Fig. 1. Gender effects on energy (food) intake in physically active individuals (SW=swimmers, XSK=cross-country skiers, RN=distance runners, WL=weight lifters, BB=bodybuilders, WR=wrestlers, BKB=basketball players, GY=gymnasts, BD=ballet dancers). While men typically increase their energy intake appropriately for the increased expenditure of their activity (with the exception of bodybuilders and wrestlers), women routinely fail to do so. (Adapted from [12–16].)
