Most days I go to a class after a light dinner. The classes go for about 60mins, When I get home I am always feeling hungry but I don't want to snack.

Should I be having some sort of protein shake or bar after a workout??
Someone told me to drink milk, but I think that would give me indegestion.

Any ideas?

    How much do you eat daily and what are your macros set to?

    Yup, if your feeling hungry, eat something. A protein shake or some other high protein thing would be good.

    I usually have 12 oz. 1% milk, one scoop whey protien, 1 banana; blend and enjoy. Will fill you up and help your muscles repair. About 360 calories.

    I usually eat a serving of peanut butter and crackers or a 100calorie pack of nuts

    According to this site I am always under eating my calories.

    On the days I go to the gym which is about 4 days a week, it says I have over 900 calories left. Other days around 300 or so.

    I am not under eating.

    Can I change it so it adjusts?

    The whey protein, milk, and banana would be a good idea.

    I agree with protein shake and pretty much any fruit of your choice. Small chicken salad or soup_
