Exercise = less hungry??

emmab0902

Is anyone else finding that doing more exercise is making them less hungry?? I don't mean avoiding eating, I mean legitimately less appetite?

No way -- I'm ravenous afterwards!! I could eat a bear!!

Yeah lately I haven't been hungry either.

I'm the opposite...if I don't eat a small meal an hour before working out, I am starving by the time I am done. My appetite is crazy after a workout!

i have the same problem, i would expect to be starving after but i'm never even a bit hungry till at least 2 hours later... which is why i can never eat back my exercise cals by the end of the night lol

I feel the same way! I haven't snacked at all since I started exercising and I've been under my calorie goal. But I'm also taking oxyelite pro which may have something to with it since it's an appetite suppresant. I haven't once really thought of food or was hungry at all. I worked out for an hour today and burned roughly 500 calories.

I am never hungrier than when I excersise regularly, which is why I typically avoid it.

for me it depends on the workout.. on cardio days I have less of an appetite but on days that I lift weights or do any strength training I am super hungry...which sucks cause i don't burn enough calories with just strength training to feed my hunger LOL

Nope! I'm usually starving.

yeah but ive made a habit of eating after haha.
well depending on when. i just stick to my meal times.
but i do notice that if i wasnt so organized i could easily go without eating afterwards, it just gives you this nice happy feeling and food is the last thing on your mind most of the time

For me it's about half and half. Some days I feel like I'm STARVING, and others I forget to eat. I try to specifically plan my work outs so that a meal is always soon after (I've read it's best if you feed your body 30 mins - 2 hrs after working out to help with recovery).
