17 year old athlete

[Guest guest]

I am meeting with a 17 year old athlete tomorrow who used to see an RD to gain

wt, now she is trying to eat better. she exercises 2-3 hours per day and wants

to decrease her % body fat. currently being measured by her home scale (it

would probably be more accurate for me to do skin calipers blindfolded).

anybody have experience with those home scales? she doesn't want to lose wt,

just get leaner. sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night and eats,

also seems like she binge eats. wants me to come up with a wt training schedule

for her and help with better eating habits. I pretty much have a plan of

action, just wanted to get others thoughts and opinions who have experience with

this population. Thank you.
