A personal trainer and body builder has revealed her shock at being told by a nurse that she's overweight and needs to 'eat less and move more' despite training five days a week.

Anita Albrecht came sixth in the Miss Galaxy Universe competition in 2012 and writes regularly for Yahoo's fitness section, but the nurse told her she should drop her eating habits to 1,000 calories a day - without taking into account her lifestyle.

    You have to wonder if the health professionals are blind sometimes. I posted about this last year when my guy was told the same thing by a nurse doing a physical for insurance. He doesn't compete like this lady but he goes to the gym 5-6 days a week and has for the past 20 years and is also very strict about his diet most of the time. If he's obese like the nurse said then I'd hate to hear what she would have to say about me.
