one side note on diet - for a long time i didn't focus on diet at all, i ate the basic 3 meals a day of crap food and snacked on whatever i wanted in between, but after doing some research and realizing the importance of diet i decided to really pay attention to what i eat. for the past few months i have been eating more total calories and eating more frequently than i ever have before, in the beginning i was full all of the time and it was a struggle to get in all of the food that i needed, over that time i didn't gain any weight, but i did notice my strength levels and energy significantly improve. now i am eating pretty much the same amount of calories and i have actually increased my protein intake and i find myself getting hungry a lot more between meals, my strength is still improving, but despite increasing protein and taking in a fairly high number of calories i am actually losing weight. is this normal? has anyone else ever experienced something like this? and why would this be happening? thanks for any replies
