Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason why a life cycle cannot be evolved to maximize feeding as well as reproduction simultaneously.
Introduction:

The newborn animals go through a life cycle, which involves many different stages in order to become an adult capable of reproduction. In these animals, one of the stages of the life cycle is specialized for feeding and another for reproduction.
