Working out ='s not hungry?

Since I started working out again I find that I'm not that hungry. I have to force myself to eat what I do now. Does anyone have this issue? How do you work past it?

    You open mouth and insert food :-)

    Keep at it, your hungry will come the more you work out. First comes the work outs, then comes the hunger, it lags behind sometimes.

    Same here. Especially since I increased my protein intake. I have to really work to achieve my daily calorie goal. I hope someone can answer this, because I used to eat like a pig. This makes no sense to me.

    Eat all your calories before you work out if that is a problem.

    This is exactly why I follow the TDEE minus 10% way of figuring calories.

    I tell it how much and at what level I am going to exercise, then the calculator adds in the extra calories and spreads them out over the week.
