• The energy you get from food is measured in
  calories. When Carl Lewis was in college, he
  skipped meals during the day. Then he would run
  out of energy. This prompted Carl to think about
  nutrition. He began to eat more during the day

  his energy up.
• Carl Lewis learned he must eat regularly to get
  energy.
