    I was trying to stick around 1500 cals for my goal in March. I workout a lot! I noticed anything less than 1400 was making my workouts tiring. I want to build muscle. I just finished reading New rules for lifting for women. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday I ate 2000 calories of bad choices-. I had my strength training class this morning and the 7lb free weight was "easy" compared to when I was using a 6 lb weight a week ago. I wonder if eating more gave me more strength.. I'm so confused about everything! I want to build muscle but I'm afraid to eat more!!!! Yikes! I already committed to 1500 cals for the month of March, but I'm wondering if I should increase that to 1800-maybe, or just stick with 1500 and see what happens.. Any advice?

    What if I gain when I increase but strength training gets easier? I'm going to post this in the forum.

    You have to fuel. Your workouts to get the most from them. If nothing else, working out when tired or weaker runs a risk of injury x
