Answers:

GIRL! YOU NEED TO EAT! I don't know how kgs convert to pounds, but if you really eat that little you need to talk to someone. At LEAST eat a big breakfast. Eat Cliff bars on your way to the horses, or eat an peanuts on your walk, or an avacado after or before. you need to eat something, and drink tons of water too.... You should talk to your parents or someone. It's actually healthier to eat every 4 hr than not at all. If you don't eat than your body goes into storing mode and whenever you fall off the wagon with your no eating rule than all that fat will be stored instead of being used for energy.



Your body needs energy for strength training, cardio, weight lifting, walking, sleeping, digestion, etc. This energy comes from food. The calories in food are fuel for your body. If you don't supply the fuel then you will suffer from the following:

Strength Loss. Your body doesn't receive the energy it needs for the physical activities you do. You'll feel tired and weak at the gym.

Fat Gains. Fat is emergency storage for your body. Your body burns muscle for energy first when you don't eat. You'll become skinny but fat.

Muscle Loss. The weight loss is muscle loss. Muscle loss equals fat gains as muscle burns more calories than fat.
If calorie intake drops too much your body enters a protective starvation mode in which it hoards fat. In this mode you are simply building muscle to tear it down over and over again. So, it makes sense that in addition to building in scheduled days of rest once you return to working out, you must fulfill your body's daily caloric requirement.

As often as you have heard it, the body is truly a finely tuned instrument in need of very specific ratios of nutrients to perform at its best both in the gym and out. You must regulate carefully the ratio of healthy fats, adequate protein and low-glycemic carbohydrates in your diet. Also, with regard to meal timing it is essential to keep glucose levels as steady as possible so that you can perform at your best during each workout. Eat five or six small meals throughout the day to avoid the common tendency to crescendo your calories-that is, to eat little or nothing early in the day and to consume the majority of your calories in the evening. Inadequate caloric intake prior to working out leads to subpar workouts, and without a steady supply of glucose in the blood the body is likely to burn hard-earned muscle rather than fat while you are working out.

Once all of these steps are implemented the body will recover, but the most difficult aspect of treating overtraining is the psychological one. It takes a true leap of faith to eat more and workout less when doing the opposite is so highly touted. And the truth is you may feel worse before you feel better. You may become more agitated without the release provided by your daily workout, and you may gain a few pounds of water weight as your body readjusts to the changes you are making. These issues work themselves out within two to four weeks. If these issues don't work out then seeing a doctor for this condition is essential in order to avoid the severe complications that come from this type of obsession. Also, a dietician can help you individualize your daily menu and help you with organizing your time and activities to include a healthy diet.

Hope this helps.
