The percentage of male athletes with eating disorders is lower than that of females, however, this may be due to males under-reporting their struggles. The overall prevalence is ~10-20% of male athletes experience some disordered eating or eating disorder.
Nutrition counseling for male athletes is very individualized as no two eating disorders or athletes are the same in regards to their recovery goals or energy needs based on their sport.
At Branz Nutrition, we focus on meeting the athlete where they are at while continuing to set realistic yet firm goals to beat the eating disorder and achieve a safe return to their beloved sport.
Branz Nutrition Counseling is a team of certified eating disorder dietitians who provide compassionate care to those struggling with their relationship to food. Our approach is weight-inclusive, LGBTQIA+, and social justice-oriented, which means that we believe that everyone deserves access to quality care.
