Do you have trouble eating all your cals...

on heavier workout days? It's hit or miss for me...sometimes i'm absolutely starving after the workout, and sometimes I kinda feel like I don't have much of an appetite and have to "look for" stuff to fill my calories.

Do you ever lose your appetite after an unusually long or hard workout?

    After a long run, I have to wait an hour or so until I can eat. If I eat right after, my head is in the toilet. No bueno. :sad:

    Yep, you just read my mind. I'm trying hard to figure out how I'm going to get 600 more cals in before bed.

    But yesterday, on my rest day, I was eating everything....

    Yep. i was battling a sinus infection this week and felt good enough to work out (Zumba) but not much appetite. Went a couple days with a 400 cal deficit and MFP scolded me for going into "starvation mode". Nobody ever accused me of that before.... Just added a couple of small snacks throughout the day and I was able to get the count up.
