I'm surprised you were be able to have very effective workouts on that. I think most men would "conk out" in under an hour. I know I would.
I'm sorry for getting on your case about this, but 1,500 calories isn't enough for most physically active men, and especially not athletes (even amateurs).

You don't understand how many times people tell me this. EVERYBODY tells me this. But it's really quite simple: if I eat more than that, I get FAT. I'm talking gain 10 pounds PER MONTH until I'm 280 again. What am I supposed to do about that? It's easy to say "you're not eating enough, especially if you're exercising" but I gain weight instantly if I eat any more than that, even with a workout regiment, even eating healthy foods.
And no, it wasn't enough -- I typically got light headed rather quickly if I didn't take a break between each exercise.
