Subject: Feel Like Crap
About a week and a half ago, I injured the tendons around my ankle, and got put out of training for a little while. Due to the pain, and feeling down, I didn't feel like eating much, eating about 1300-1500 calories a day, when my BMR is around 2000. I am now about ready to start training again, and have increased my intake to 2000 calories, but am still feeling like crap after 3 days. Is this normal? do I have to up my intake even more? or wait more then three days? Any advice would be apprieciated, as I want to get back into training as soon a possible.

Keep at it. I had a 4 week forced break and it took me almost 2 weeks to feel normal again. Don't drive with your nutrition. Your nutrition should be driven by how much you train. If you increase your training frequency you'll feel the need to eat more. Eventually you'll get back to feeling normal.

On a related note: I love Perth. I spent an entire February there in 2003, and it was the summer I can remember. You have some great beaches there.
