I am advocating for someone to not purposefully lose weight during heavy training. If you eat healthily it is very difficult to eat enough calories during a heavy training load, so the bias should always be towards trying to eat more not less.
As someone over the age of 50...I don't agree with the bolded statement. Yes, it was true in my 20s and 30s. Back then, I couldn't eat enough. It got the the point that I was tired of eating. My coach at the time used to say, "I don't care what you eat. Eat friggin ice cream. Just stop losing weight!"
But today? I can easily overeat and gain weight even while training heavily, now. I know, because I have.
