A member asked:
Im a boxer. so i spar, lift, run, and do all kinds of workouts. so i might be an "extreme athlete" or whatever. should i eat more than average people?

You could, but not -: Necessarily. To stay healthy you need to eat healthy ; in moderation. You probably need more than average person, since you expend your energy on exercising. I would suggest check with your pcp who can see you and help maintain healthy eating habits ; general health. Good luck.
