A member asked:

Is it possible that my tight muscles all over are using up my energy faster making me feel weak and the need to eat every few hours?

Food to revitalize: More likely that the muscles are tight from exhaustion / overuse and need the food for building blocks in order to repair and revitalize the muscle.
