Hi Guys,
I have had this question rolling around in my head that I want to ask. I do not want to offend anybody, but it is bugging me, and if I can't ask here, where am I going to ask. Right?

I have in more than one instance noticed that some of the hardest training people here have made comments about their weight. How come when doing this much training, the pounds don't just melt away?

I know calories in, calories out. I teach Bio, I get it. But with the number of calories that we are burning, why is it even an issue?

I don't have a weight issue, I am not a picker, or an emotional eater. I am careful about my fuel choices. Yea, I indulge every now and then, but for the most part, I am a clean eater.

How come I am not desperately fighting to keep weight on? Are we not really burining that much? I am freakin' hungry all the time, and I am not even doing IM distance.

What is the physiology behind this?

Confused and hungry in New Jersey...
( and hoping not to offend)
