I burn about 700-800
calories doing my daily excercise(half hour cardio+1hr and a half

my protein from protein powder.I have never felt better,I have been
doing this for a week only,and I have never slept better.Even though
my net calories is 1000 or less.

That was a nice experiment. Now cut it out before it hurts you. Eat no
less than 8x your weight in calories and get the calories from a variety
of foods that contain fiber, nutrients and healthy fats.

(Is anyone else getting as sick of the crash diet morons showing up here
lately as I am?)

Even after I'm done my workouts, which
is a total of 2 hours or more

OVER-TRAINING. You'll just get injured. Or grow discontent with the
gym and leave it entirely. Find a sane routine. Three or four 45
minute weight-lifiting sessions a week is plenty. I don't care if you
do cardio most days of the week for 1/2 an hour, but 1.5 hours a day
lifting weights is just moronic - what's your goal?

Would feeling tired all the time be the most obvious symptom of
overtraining? So far I've been pretty happy working out 1.5-2 hrs a
day, 7 days a week doing cardio/weights. It's a regimen I've been
following close to 10 mos. now. I sleep quite well at night, don't
suffer any aches or pains and feel quite energetic throughout the day.
I'm sure there's many folks who do hard physical labor on the job
+40hrs a week so I figure what's 2 hrs of exercise a day?
