increased hunger with exercise

I have the same problem

You should eat more on workout days anyway to ensure your body still gets fed properly as your using so much energy! post workout snack definetly helps so make sure you leave some calories in your day for post workout!

You have to fuel your body, eat more food....... Best of Luck

Well, there really is nothing else to add. :drinker:

If you are running out in your neighborhood, first I would get a heart rate monitor. That way you can see how many calories you are really burning. It will help tell show you if you are hungry because you use a lot of fuel or habit. I find protein shake help curb the appetite after working out and don't add to many calories (mine is 30g of protein and 130 calories), if it is from hunger. You might also mistake thirst for hunger, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water.

I am willing to guess you need hydration, and you needed it before you exercised also. Dehydration often masks itself with a feeling like hunger.

Consider finishing your exercise with a few bites of a melon, or strawberries or tomatoes, cucumber - something nourishing, low-cal and yet vital to eating well - and hydrating!

I generally eat a snack such as hickory smoked tuna in the pouch from Starkist, it's only 90 calories and man does it keep hunger at bay. I eat it right out of the pouch. It keeps me satisfied for long periods of time also.
