I didn’t read ROAR but I have worked with an excellent nutritionist and racer in the past who dove into the topic in an informational webinar on this exact topic and she mentions what Coach said - take it with a grain of salt. Her name is Kristen Arnold and the webinar link is here: https://source-e.net/rider-resources/webinars/sports-nutrition-for-females-considerations-in-a-field-of-research-on-males/
I have found that Kristen’s information helps me plan my month of training to align with my cycle, for instance, more VO2 during ovulation and more strength during menstruation. Her info has also helped me modify some eating habits, and combining Coach’s recovery webinar info with Kristen’s info I have also been able to improve my sleep and rest in alignment with my cycle.
