I’ve noticed a decrease in my hunger lately, which probably had everything to do losing some muscle. So even though that means less calories this week, I still need to increase my protein intake to help build those muscles back up again.

More muscle = more food each day. Healthy, protein rich food that is ;-)

After recalculating my numbers for this upcoming week, it occured to me that the reason I may have lost so much muscle was becuase…get ready for it…I wasn’t eating enough. 

Sounds crazy, but since I was exerting much more energy (thanks cross-fit!), yet still restricting my calorie intake based on my previous week’s results, it would only stand to reason that I would lose lean body mass. Right?

There’s only one way to find out. I’m upping my calorie budget this week to reflect my new cross-fit / running regimen in the hopes that this solves my “problem”.
