Well We do watch what we eat... but our coach doesn't advocate starving due to the fact that you seriousally need your energy. One of our star wrestlers(he is the state champ this year in his weight) in years before would starve himself down.... and then EVEN I COULD beat him. and Our old 103 is famous for pigging out, in fact if he didn't make weight it was usually because of those extra snickers bars he had eaten before the match.

In wrestling we eat... we just moderate it... at least if we are worried about weight classes we do... our 103 didn't need to worry because we had no 112 lb'er meaning that if he did weigh over he still had a spot. This year I had to watch my weight... but I still ate at least 2 meals a day.. and on many occasions had been a pound or two under... despite the fact taht I had to first lose 12 lbs before I was at the weight class I wanted(I weiged 152-153 to start adn went down to 140). You just eat alot of poultry(chicken adn turkey) and you avoid drinking a lot of pop or water.... the water is the hard part not the food.... in fact more often then not when a wrestler is over it is due ot water consumption not food consumption. But water is easy to sweat out before a match so it is nothing serious.

Oh yeah before I forget I say this our 103 lb'er taht we had was quite special he was almost always taller then his opposition... and looked alot like a twig..... but he was still fairly strong... not bulky but stringy... and he had alot of leverage for his size. the average hieght of a 103-112 lb'er in my area is probably 5'4" or 5'5" or in other words really close to my height... in fact I am considered extermely short and stocky... being 5'6" and 140-152 lbs(no that wrestling season is over for me... I have likely put back on some weight).
