   Why are you taking in so few calories? Are you trying to lose weight? As long as your energy is up, it’s probably ok, but I’m not sure you’ll get peak performance if you deprive your body like this. I’m assuming you’re properly hydrated…

   i think it depends on ur size, if ur really skinny, then u shud eat more, otherwise u might faint while running. but if ur really big, then its a perfect way to lose weight without worries.

   yes!

   if you consume less than 1200 calories a day, your body tricks itself into thinking your starving, and stores all those calories as fat. Besides, that has to be lower than the amount of calories you need to sleep all day.

   Yes. You won’t be at your full potential, actually not even close to it during the event if you’re still on this 1000 calorie intake.

   Yes they should be worried about it.

   If you are training for an olympic distance or greater and maintain this habit, you are not going to have the nutrition you need to compete or train effectively.

   Unless you are very thin, this is a bad strategy. Most people increase icaloric ntake to cover training needs. Check this sites for some advice:
