Hi,
This morning I do a long session of cardio (run 17k in 90 minutes), and I burnt over 1200 kcals (which I think it's a lot...). I dont have any appetite today. I was wondering whether it's normal. Usually I am very hungry the day after, I feel like my body needs 24 hours to "speak up" and say "hi I am starving".
I have been running almost all my life. I was thinkking maybe my body is used to this exercise.

I've read that exercise is an appetite supressant
typically i'm not very hungry immediately after a work out, particularly a cardio workout.
i think over the course of time it will end up naturally increasing your appetite0 -
On here I see a lot of people say they are starving the next day after hard/long workouts (dirty joke GO!!!!)
I personally am starving the day OF my workout- moderately hungry the next day.
think it's really individual as to how your body personally reacts and requests food.0 -
it can be related to muscle growth. When I do a running, I don't really feel my muscle worked out. Probably because my body is used to it.0

I've been running for a few years and when I run 15+ miles or do longer distance speed work I have no appetite at all. I have to force myself to eat within an hour of the workout to help rebuild/repair and prevent soreness.
When I lift, I notice I am extremely hungry those days most of the time but I'm still newer to lifting and increasing my weights frequently as a result. Some days when I lift I think I might have to eat my arm before I get home or I may starve to death haha
Everyone is probably a little different.0 -
I'm the same way. I always run on my lunch break at work (around 11am-I know..early!) and I only eat breakfast sometimes..(don't want to hear it
) but after I run I'm not usually hungry until around 1pm or so..then it's only a little. I'll usually eat half my lunch at 1 then the other half around 3.

ok so it's normal behaviour. I run this morning and I feel like I can eat my arm this evening. I did not have any appetite at lunch.0

for me the appetite supressant effect is only a few hours0

lived 3-5 miles from my gym- and I almost always had to have a snack- I was ravenous on the way home.
Seriously- who detours for a snack when it's a 10 minute drive??? DAFUK??
me- that's who.0 -

I did that the other morning on my way to work after my workout! Pulled into a gas station and bought myself a sack of beef jerky. Lol!0 -

It alters degrees from person to another, but they trend to have more the larger appetite.0 -

I would say SHAMEFUL (to us both) but have a very large sumo sized inner fat kid- and I refuse to be ashamed.0 -
Amazing. I've always found I'm ravenous after exercise.0

Cardio works as an appetite suppressant for me but I get ravenous after a good lifting session.0
-
I agree with a few others, cardio=not hungry (until the nexy day usually), lifting =FREAKING RAVENOUS. And like almost instantly.0
-
I am the complete opposite. After lifting, I make myself have a protein shake, mostly to ensure I get enough protein in during the day (and everyone says having the shake after you workout is a good time).But for the most part, I don't notice that I'm hungry.
After I do any amount of running, I have to physically remove myself from the kitchen to avoid eating everything in sight.
The only exception to this is if I do a long run (20+ miles): I know I should eat, but I just don't want to. Of course, what better time is there to?0 -
Lifting makes me really hungry the next day. When I run or cycle, my stomach starts growling after about an hour, but a small snack after the run is usually enough to keep me going until the next meal.0
-
I gotta concur with everyone else. My appetite is suppressed for a few hours after any vigorous exercise, then I am ravenous the next day.0

Agree with you. I just finished my weight lifting session and I am ravenous. Yesterday I had a cardio session and was not hungry at all after.
I find this a bit strange because you burn much more kcal in a cardio session than during a weight lifting....0 -
Even though I am working on a reduced carb plan (not low carb per se, about 40% calories from carbs), I started adding extra carbs (clif bar) prior to a longer cardio workout so that I have enough calories available. I am still below my total for the day because of the extra calorie burn, but I am less hungry throughout the day if I have a good amount of carbs and protein before the workout. It helps if I can get a 20 minute nap in after the workout.0

I do a 40ish mile ride every Saturday and I am generally not hungry immediately after (which is why I have a recovery smoothie...I need the nutrients but I'm just not wanting to actually eat anything). I am however pretty much insatiable after about 3 hours and for the rest of the day and usually into the next.0
-
Totally.. I have no appetite whatsoever after running.0
