I've been getting a lot of good questions from people lately. One person has, with three simple tweets, made me rethink a long-standing belief of mine about training; she may be right (but not for the reasons she espouses) and I have to do a long examination of some science to see if I really know what I think I know.
For Twitter illiterates, these are in reverse chronological order:

A high exercise metabolic rate is desirable as the higher the rate, the greater the energy output. Underfueling puts brakes on metabolism.

Why are athletes becoming obsessed w/ trying to train body to adapt to less fuel? It means you're teaching it to slow its metabolic rate.

Athletes PLEASE don't believe hype 'training your body to use less fuel' by providing less fuel in workouts. This strategy is nonsensical!
