The purpose of this investigation was to develop a prediction equation for energy availability in recreational athletes. Fifteen apparently healthy individuals (8 females, 7 males) participated in the 7-day data collection of dietary intake and energy expenditure. The first session included a maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) test, completion of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), and a body composition (BOD POD) measurement; the researcher also outlined the details of the research process. Results indicated that energy availability had a number of predictors that varied based on gender. Potential predictors for the entire group included: carbohydrate (g/kg) (R2 = 0.45), fat mass (R2 = 0.73), percent contribution of fat to the diet (R2 = 0.85), exercise frequency (R2 = 0.97), and skipping of lunch (R2 = 0.99). Potential predictors for females included: body fat percentile (R2 = 0.90), percentage contribution of alcohol in the diet (R2 = 0.987), weight concern (R2 = 0.997), and percentage contribution of carbohydrate to the diet (R2 = 0.999). The potential predictor for males was carbohydrate (g/kg) (R2 = 0.44).
