Totally agree. It's easy to get carried away with jerky -- any jerky. My brother makes venison jerky. Mmmmmm... Makes me want to go hunting.

I think it's a fairly common experience. I'm not hungry after hard workouts either when I'm meeting all my basic nutritional needs. I usually let my body take the lead on that -- unless I'm trying to gain -- then I would try to eat back the calories a bit with light protein-rich foods like greek yogurt.

Going to depend on your height, weight and age too. Here's a calculator that will give you an idea of your BMR (base metabolic rate) or 'calories needed to stay alive' (organ function and such): http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

As someone who travels, I can relate to the pizza and take aways. If I know I'm going to have to 'dine out' I adjust to low-sodium, low-fat, high protein foods during the day, so I can 'reward' myself with dining out. If I stick with it, then pizza/take aways.

Running 5k three times a week…

In my case, it could kill me. Had to pull over while driving once and 'nap' (caught the headache and head-bobs coming on for no apparent reason) due to an exposure at a restaurant while traveling. I asked for maple syrup for waffles and they served me the cheap stuff. Hard to tell the difference when it's in a little sauce…

Yes on avoiding HFCS. I noticed my body had a poor response to HFCS in the 1970s -- long story how. Irregardless, I can't even eat a cracker without reading the box first. Basically, it knocks me out. I remeber snacking on some crackers at work once and getting a horrible case of the head-bobs and falling asleep at my…
