How much do you eat?

Okay, I'm actually not kidding with this one. Latley, I have been starving ALL the time. My muscles have been really tired in workout, too. I'm certainly not overtraining - I make it 5 days/week usually, sometimes a 6th on my own, and lately it's been 4 or 5. And we aren't cranking out the yards like crazy either. I think either something is missing from my diet or I'm just not eating enough ... my guess is it's the former. Any thoughts? I eat a fair amount of protein. I constantly amaze people with just how much I do eat so I don't think it's that ...

I constantly amaze people with just how much I do eat so I don't think it's that ... Add a few more carbs...just my thought...especially if you lack zip in training. It could be that those muslces are using up the protein to grow and then over burning carbs. I am sure I'll get corrected on this, but I would make yourself a 1 slice peanut butter sandwich 45 minutes before you swim. You might belch a few times in your swim but you shouldn't barf. I am a firm believer in peanut power. The alternative to PB is Nutella. I used to do this then go run 2-4 miles 3x a week, but I also used to play 2hrs of soccer every evening too...boy I was fit...all I can say is PB worked for me. Caution: do not make peanut butter and jelly though; only heathens would mix something like that. PBJ surely is the devil's work...
