I had bulimia…should i eat alot to get my soccer speed and agility back?
Yes, it’s because you lost weight so fast; you were burning muscle for energy because your body was running out of fat, so that is why your athletic performance has weakened. You also weren’t able to exercise as hard as you used to, because you didn’t have the energy. However, you don’t need to stuff yourself and “eat loads”. You should eat healthy. Your metabolism is probably still partly in “starvation mode”, since you’re so skinny. Try eating about 2500-2700 calories, with plenty of protein but not neglecting other nutrients and sources of calories, per day and exercising regularly. You may want to try a bit of light weight training and some cardio, to help build your strength back. But don’t overdo it, or you’ll injure yourself. Your body will adapt to what you have it doing. If you go back to eating healthy and exercising like you used to, you’ll get healthy. If your body is healthy and you demand speed of it during soccer, it will adapt and you will get faster.
