My unscientific solution is to swig chocolate milk immediately before and after strength training sessions. And no--shame on me--I don't log it. But it seems to help with the day-after hunger pangs.0

For some reason I'm always more hungry the day after I do heavy weight lifting.1

After hitting the heavier weights I've come to this problem. The past 3 days I've gone over my calories due to vigorous strength training. I don't eat back my exercise calories nor do I track workouts. But I used to be content on 1400-1600 calories but now it takes me 2200 calories to make me feel okay and not dizzy(takes me 2400 calories to feel full). I want to cut a little more weight but also want to gain strength so I'm at a crossroads.
I try to walk 3.5 miles a day and bike ride another 3.5 and I strength train 3-4 times a week. My rate/pace of weight loss has definitely slowed but even with the extra calories I'm losing weight but much slower than I used to.
Also, I feel like I can lift more and have more energy when I eat more but feel like it's hindering my weightloss.
Any advice on what I should do is greatly appreciated ? I have my activity level set to slightly active.
I'm thinking of eating more and just doing an extra hour of cardio.0 -
I could eat a buffet for breakfast after I lift if i had no restraint. Breakfast is the hardest meal for me to limit.0

Look to eat more volume foods... eggs whites, greek yogurt, low gi fruits and veggies, chicken/white meats/white fish.0 -
Mute point for those saying to "eat back your exercise calories". Not being cardio, the estimated calorie burn is pretty close to nil compared to the associated hunger.0
