Methodology: Survey of primary and secondary literature is the prime methodology used for preparing this research article.

Research Findings: The female athlete triad is a result of energy imbalance; thus, adjusting the energy expenditure and energy availability is the main intervention. Pharmacologic treatment may be considered when non-pharmacologic treatment has failed. A team approach involving the patient, obstetrician-gynecologist, sports nutritionist, coaches, parents, and mental health care provider, if indicated, is optimal.

Conclusion: Based on the prevalence of multiple female athlete triad risk factors, athlete education and monitoring of the risk factors by athletic staffis paramount to the long term health and wellbeing of the athletes. The athletes should be educated on healthy eating practices to achieve appropriate levels of caloric intake.
