Warning: This post is not for the faint sighted 🧐..
Not only will your mental health deteriorate if you look at food as something you must 'make up for' but your physical health won't be in a much better state. Attempting to punish yourself with extra training sessions or heightened intensities of training due to a guilt of overindulgence not only causes a terrible outlook on nutrition but will also effect your ability to properly utilise the intake of food for exercise due to the lack of important nutrients. The reason people harp on about balance is because that is the most effective way to keep yourself content with the food you consume as well as fuelling your body with what it needs to perform.
