Ok, so in the past couple of days some of my friends as well as myself have been ravenous and commenting that we are eating like teenage boys...or one friend she was a hungry hippo! So who else out there has been eating like a teenage boy because they are working out with the intensity of a healthy teenage boy?

    My brother is a teenage boy (well, he's 19 next week) and if I ate like him I'd be sooo skinny.

    He drinks 2l of milk a day and eats very little. But when he does eat, he EATS! He's still very very thin though. No spare flesh on him, just some muscle.

    I'd love to be one of those people who 'forget' to eat.

    Well, food is fuel. If you're working hard, your body is using that fuel! No wonder you're hungry!

    I can't wait until I get to the 2300+ calorie range... I'm still trying to cut some body fat so I am eating about 1800-1900 cals on non-workout days and about 2100 on workout days.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    I work with a group of women who eat and drink like a bunch of teenage boys and don't exercise whatsoever.

    Now that's a problem.

    When I was a teenage boy, I probably ate about 4500 calories a day and I was still hungry.

    I've always had the appetite of a teenage boy! Luckily my maintenance is around 2300-2400 net so I can still eat like one, especially when I workout! :D

    My brother is 18 and eats like a horse! He's a total rail, but if I ate like him I'd probably be more like a baby elephant by the end of the week :P

    DH wanted pizza last weekend. I ate 5 slices. o_0

    Usually when I get like that I drink a big glass of watter and then eat carrot sticks with hummus. The protein helps, and since I have braces it takes me so friggin' long to eat a carrot that I can push past the ravenous state. lol

    I have definitely been more hungry lately. But I can feel the difference between the "I'm so hungry but I have nothing with me to eat so I'll starve until I can get food" and the "I've been working out like a beast and need to fuel my body" hungry! lol I like being a beast better! :-) Because then I get to eat! AND lose weight!
