It's not just that you only have so much "will power" that you ration, it's that your brain doesn't work when you're starving.

I had to cut weight for wrestling in high school (from a healthy 185 down to 160) and the will power to not eat wasn't even that difficult (though it did suck), but I still couldn't think well.
