Recovery Requires Balance: Caloric Awareness is Key
After intense physical exertion, such as a long stage race, the body can experience significant muscle damage, leading to inflammation and water retention. This physiological response may trigger a primal instinct to conserve calories, as the body perceives ongoing high energy expenditure as a new normal.
