The Blues forward, 30, believes worries around consuming carbs and pressure around body image can affect how athletes in women's game handle nutrition.<\/p>\n

Kirby,\u00a0 who has helped Chelsea win WSL titles, said: "As the game is growing, it has become more noticeable that people are getting comments about their weight, and how they look on TV or how they look in pictures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"That shouldn't matter – what body type you are, how you look in your dress, how you look in a kit. It's something that should be championed to be strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"If that means that you have to eat more, you're doing the right things that your body needs, not just because of how you look on camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We're seeing in the women's game recently how many women are struggling (with these issues).<\/p>\n

"There's been research around it, but I don't think it's something that we've invested enough time into."<\/p>\n

Hayes, who is hoping to lead her team to their fourth win in five WSL games later, backed Kirby\u2019s comments on the need to be mindful of body shaming.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Blues chief said: "I wrote about this in a column during the World Cup. <\/p>\n

"I spoke a lot about why I do not believe in the women's game that we should have weigh-ins-or you should have body composition tests. <\/p>\n

"The media need to be mindful of the insecurities that might be there and body shaming is a real thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"The players feel it and I'm proud of Fran for saying that because as women we're judged enough to look a certain way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"But in order to perform at the level that you need to eat carbs, as well as a healthy diet and unfortunately, there is a problem in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I'm not going to just limit it to the women's game, there is a problem in sport with underfueling and underloading.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"That comes with the constant demands to look a certain way and, unfortunately, a vitriolic environment that comes from social media.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
