So I train 6 out of 7 days - 5 days of lifting, monday usually involves a cardio session after weights and on friday mornings I will do *only* cardio, roughly 30-40 minutes.

I always find my appetite is through the roof whenever I do a morning that only involves cardio, I will be eating/hungry all day compared to if I do weights where my hunger levels stay normal lol.

Does anyone else find their appetite sky rockets when they do cardio in the morning? :smiley:

    The day after deadlifts. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, there are snacks in my purse. And I will eat every 2-3 hours. People are usually surprised with what I pull out of there.

    I am ravenous after cardio! Especially if I run! When I lift or do other activities that have weights involved I am hungry but not crazy-hungry. When I run or take/teach a dance class I am always absolutely starving after and could graze all day... :smile: (On healthy stuff of course). It's awesome... I love the feeling of working hard, being hungry and nourishing my body after!

    I'm hungriest if I stay up longer than usual. Interestingly, after getting up the next day I'm not hungry anymore.

    I don't actually ever get truly hungry anymore. I also don't do a lot of scheduled exercise, and the things that I do do (walking and some body-weight strength training), doesn't cause anything, except I usually want a glass of water after I go on my walks :)

    The day after a heavy weight lifting session. I lifted weights yesterday and today I am already really hungry. I eat healthy, though, so I just make sure that I eat something every 2 hours.

    It seems the day after a really heavy workout of any sort, which typically means I am not working out that day. As an example, we hiked 10 miles and I was hungry that evening and ate almost all calories back and didn't work out the next day and was STILL ravenous and ate over my calories and I was irritated with myself.

    If I go to the gym in the morning before work, I do not eat anything previous. However, when I get back home, I am so ****ing famished that I need food like NOW.

    It's probably a pretty disgusting display to watch, but thankfully my dog doesn't seem to mind.

    In the morning after cardio, I am hungriest. Yesterday I had over 500 calories for breakfast which kept me from being hungry all day long. I need a bit extra at breakfast on those days to not feel hungry for the rest of the day.

    I'm reliably hungriest around lunchtime -- right after my workout. In fact, that's almost the only time I feel true hunger at all!
