Meyer did say that. Edward did say that blood made them stronger...but not that much stronger. And human blood makes them the strongest. But Edward says there's not much of a difference. But, vampires are just about as strong physically even if they go without drinking blood. Their mind may get weaker...but the body stays strong. Edward's mind wasn't weak in Italy. He still had the stamina to not drink Bella. Anyway, I about the blood think in an interview with Meyer on the Twilight Lexicon. Not everything is in the Twilight books...as you can tell by this wiki.
