This is my big issue with strength training: the day after I lift heavy I feel like I could eat anything not tied down! I control myself, but good Lord does that make me want to eat!!
Of course you want to eat after a day of lifting heavy, and you need to eat. Please increase those calories to a .5 deficit. Also, when you do cardio you need to eat a portion of those exercise calories back.0 -
You really need to pay attention to your NET calories. Ideally, never net below your BMR. I think you should be hungry now. Your net calories have probably been too low, and now that you have less fat you are really starting to feel it. That's a good signal your body is giving you, so listen0
