[quote=Anonymous]I think it's just not possible to be losing 2lbs a week and think you can play such intense sports at an optimal level. Something's got to give! Also, some of the weight you have lost is muscle mass. What percent of fat vs muscle you have lost is highly dependent on your own biology, but with that level of exercise, your body may be cannibalizing your muscle much more than you think. That muscle loss could be impacting your performance. 2lbs is a lot for someone who is not overweight and is trying to maximize athletic performance... Also, regarding your question on feeding strategy.... so much of that depends on our own biological/genetic makeup. Some endurance athletes do better on a low carb diet, but for many, it just doesn't work. why don't you up your calories so you are not loosing weight at such a rapid rate?? [/quote]
