Weight loss would be the best indicator that George is not consuming enough kilocalories, as it indicates that his body is burning more calories than it is taking in. Impaired performance on the court or low blood glucose levels could also indicate low energy levels, but they are not as reliable indicators as weight loss. Low hemoglobin, on the other hand, is a measure of red blood cell function and is not directly related to calorie intake.
