Understanding Caloric Deficit and Energy Availability

A caloric deficit occurs when one consumes fewer calories than they expend, leading to fat loss as the body utilizes stored fat for energy. This state reflects low energy availability, which indicates that nutrients are limited for bodily functions. Understanding the nuances between being in a caloric deficit and low energy availability is essential, as both terms can sometimes be used interchangeably. Compounding this is the nature of fat loss itself, which is a gradual process that requires caloric deficits sustained over time.
