Thanks for the responses guys. Today I ate a lot more than any day last week, I had a snack every hour almost, in combination with my usual morning and after snacks before and after lunch. I found I had more energy during the day today so I think I'm on the right track. I actually think I need to bring my upper body gym workouts up a notch because i'm starting to build some serious leg muscle. Even though it seems I may be on the right track, if there is anyone here who is knowledgeable about this stuff I really would appreciate some input. I think for someone in the know this could be an interesting problem, because at least as far as I can tell there is not a whole lot of information available on this specific topic. Maybe that's just me though...
