Hi all, I have a question for all of you. Now I now its different for everyone, but I just wanted to get a sense of how it might work.
Whenever I eat less, 1500 calories or so, exercising feels so easy, it's easier to break into a sweat, I enjoy it more and so on. But when I eat over 2000 calories, I get out of breath easily, dehyrdrated easily, and generally find the workout a tad bit annoying while doing it (The "let's get this over with" feeling).
DOes anyone else feel this way? I don't know what to attribute it to. I was rather objective in determining this because I didn't even notice these patterns til recently, and I've been active for about 1 year.
It COULD be that eating clean (well, not necessarily CLEAN, but just LESS in genral, for me) motivates me to do more and encourages more activity because I've got it going well. It could be that more food makes me feel bulky and tired after eating it and therefore not allow me to exercise as "effectively", but I can't just believe this until I hear what other people say. My friends think I am wrong because they believe that more food= more energy= more energy to exercise and burn off--> higher metabolism, feel better.
Now I'm not eating LESS than 1500 calories, just so you know. There have been days where I haven't eaten enough and felt fatigue while exercising (duh, we all know why).
