Working out Makes Me So Hungry

I feel like it's so counterproductive. About a half hour after I work out, I'm starving and can literally keep eating an eating. How can I stop this maddness!!

I always feel like that. I try to drink a lot of water to feel full and then eat something healthy and filling (apple, PB, nuts, etc).

I just did that. I had some trailmix after my large soup with 20 saltines for lunch

I ususally have a protein shake after working out which is filling. Then a piece of fruit or nuts an hour or so later.

That means ur metobolism is speeding up ..you really should be eating 5 small meals a day ..it really depends on your body but my trainer has me eating 5 x a day 300 cal a meal

I get very hungry when I work out. I found that if I have a meal high in carbs and protein prior to working out I'm good. I usually have a whole wheat bagel flat with PB and a cup of kashi go lean cereal.

I put together a snack bag to graze on all throughout the day with lots of things in little tupperwares and baggies - works like a charm!!!
