Hi i have been training for around a year and half, put on around 4 stone.

I used to eat shit and not very much but now i eat alot of proper bodybuilding meals around 8 aday

over the last 5 months i have started to feel so tired all the time now it has got so bad that i havent done a single shift at work (8hr shift) that i havent had to have a nap on!!

so i went to the docs and got a blood test, i thought i had low test as i had all the symptoms that i had red on net except low muscle mass BUT i havent got any stronger for ages now so thought it possible

blood test showed that my test level was in the normal range, lower end of range but still within the average range.

BUT my hemoglobin level is low which doc sed is like being anemic but there was another value that wasnt low that is when your anemic

and there was something just off the bottom of the scale with my liver values and he asked me if im a drinker, i dont drink at all!! which suprised me that there was something wrong with that.

ive got to go back in a month for another test and if thats same its hospital time for liver!

ive been looking on the net as to why my hemoglobin could be low with out being anemic and found this :-

If the necessary nitrogen is not taken in via your diet, your body only has the option to make the amino acids it needs by scavenging from structural body sources. These may include such entities as red blood cell hemoglobin, the lining of your intestines and gut, from muscle and other areas. This leaching may sacrifice certain functions already provided by the structural proteins of these sources and this is not kosher for overall body health.
Recently, several ultra long distance runners who had been eating the typical diet of high carbohydrates and fats but not much protein, were determined not only to be functionally anemic (low iron), but somewhat surprisingly, they had depleted almost all of their red blood cell hemoglobin proteins!

.... i think i get plenty of iron from my bodybuilding diet so i dont think its that also ive started taking an iron sup just in case.

does anyone have any idea whats up with me???

thank you
