I'm no nutritionist or scientist but that is horrible advice. Your body needs fuel. Eating lean may work if you want to keep weight off with minimal exercise. If you want to excel at athletics you need to keep your body fueled properly.
I'm not playing soccer. Right now I'm just lifting weights and doing cardio in the morning. But I consume about 3000 calories a day that includes about 350 grams of carbs over 6 meals. Breakfast is the biggest meal of the day consisting of a cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of blueberry's, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of egg whites, 1 cup of skim milk.
