Yeah...the way it actually works makes alot of sense.
If you eat on a regular basis, your body sees that it's getting food and burns it off. If you eat 3 meals a day, your body doesn't really know when it's getting it's next meal, so it stores it as fat.
If I don't eat enough it does the same thing, kind of goes into "starvation mode" because I'm not giving it enough of what it needs, even though I may not feel hungry.
With the workouts, I'm supposed to eat like 2,600-3,000. I was only getting in about 1500, and that was just too little. So I'm trying hard to eat that much so I get in 2,000 calories a day, and will now average about 1.5 lbs of weight a week lost.
I'm no nutritionist either, but it seems to help me out about now... I also found out that one of the best thing to drink after a hard workout on the cheap is...CHOCOLATE MILK!!! It's got a perfect ration of 4:1 in carbs/protein to help rebuild your body after you are done. Just drink it within about 15 minutes after your workout.
