: I've just turned seventeenNow I'm playing rugby again I may do a set of weights in the gym, then training in the evening, or weights and a run. About four days a week I'm doing two training sessions in one day. Is this too much, in addition, whenever I haven't got training I run 13 miles (about twice a week)? Also I eat so much I can't really control myself when I let myself go I just eat and eat and eat (only healthy things though, I love fuit and fibre, toast etc.). I've managed to confine it by giving up chocolate, but I still eat loads. So although everyone tells me I'm in shape I want to start eating more sensibly. Any ideas about controlling my habits?
It sounds like your body is simply demanding the fuel it needs. My response would be train less, eat less. If you are truely following that regimen, try slowing down... perhaps cut down to 3 sessions every 2 days, or even just 1 a day. You may find that you have more energy and eat less. I hope this helps!
