Hungry more?

[GodsTyro 63]

Those that are working out at least 5x a week- do you find yourself hungrier more often? Not sure if normal or means I need a fill.

I only work out about 1 time a week, but I do light walking in my work building up and down the stairs.

I work out 5 times a week....it's 5am now and I am heading for th gym.....

In the beginning I used to get hungrier after a workout...Iearned to overcome it....it was defeating what I had just accomplished...burning calories and fat....don't want to replace what I just managed to loose....

I learned to have some Protein before my workout for energy, and to have a "recovery" high protein after my workout....I also drink about 32 ozs of Water before all is said and done.

For me it is the doubled edged sword of exercise, I am not a model of moderation so when I exercise so I usually burn 8-1K calories per sessions and as my body tries to keep up, my hunger sky rockets as well. I usually try and throw in an extra Protein shake, and make sure my meals are even higher in Protein and that seems to take the edge off it. I have to really be careful for the carbs though.

Well I normally eat after my workout, so by 8:00 pm I hungry in general.

I find when I workout first thing in the morning before I consume anything but Water I am not that hungry most of the day. BUT if I wait and exercise in the afternoons I am ravenous after the fatigue wears off. I try to keep my Snacks high in Protein and stay in my calories.

I work out about 6 days a week and burn at least 3,500 cal per week. I find myself starving on some days even though I am over 120 grams of Protein. I have had no fills and am about 9 weeks post op. I think that it might be time for a fill but I will be asking my DOC and NUT when I go in a week.

I feel your food pain.

I sometimes feel ravenous after a workout, but I try not to eat....

Drinking a TON will help, but i know, it really is hard!
