Females exhibiting the female athlete triad may intentionally restrict their calorie intake to:
- **improve athletic performance.**
- **maintain a lean physique.**
- **lose weight.**
The female athlete triad often involves a cycle of energy deficiency, irregular menstruation, and decreased bone density, with the intention of achieving these goals potentially leading to health risks. However, restricting calorie intake to "increase their muscle size" is not typically a goal associated with the triad, as muscle gain usually requires a caloric surplus.
