If you missed it earlier this week, the N&O published a great profile on Abdul-Malik Abu, who somehow manages to meet his obligations as a college basketball player while fasting for Ramadan. It's a fascinating read about a kid who essentially has to sacrifice sleep for calories, and during the day watch his friends eat:
"Our nutritionist is always ready to feed us," he said." I've got to kind of watch everyone eat. After class or workouts, everyone is like ‘You want to go get food?' I kind of drift of into the shadows until the sun goes down, and then I'm ready to eat.
