  • Hungry after Excercise?

    So I just started excercising faithfully again a few days ago. Not only am I watching my carbs but I am also watching my caloric intake. I had been stalled for about 6 weeks so I started doing this and I find it really helps. I am eating an everage of about 1500 calories and about 25 - 30 carbs/day (Don't worry I am getting an average of 100grams of fat in a day).

    Yesterday I went rollerblading and played basketball, last evening I was sitting around board and decided to squeeze in a little more excercise after dinner. I grabbed my rollerblades and went out for another 20 minutes or so. I got home and was sitting around, about 10 p.m. the hunger sets in. I tried water, ignoring it, and then finally I tried some sugar free jello. Didn't work so I ate 2 oz of smoked turkey with 1/2 tbsp. of mayo. I averaged about 300 calories more then what I normally eat in a day, but I did excercise a lot more.

    Ok, I do have a point...do you guys notice that when you excercise hard you are hungrier? It might have been that I just needed more fat in but my percentages looked good for the day. Just curious to see what you guys thought.

    Thanks

    Great job with the exercise! AWESOME!

    Me, I get LESS hungry right after a long run ... but I'm weird ... Of course 4 hours after that, my body is SCREAMIN' for prime rib! And I never disappoint it!

      First of all, always eat after exercise...especially protein.
      It helps your muscles recover faster & stronger.

      It's normal to become more hungry after exercise...just eat acceptable foods like nuts etc. Some extra carbs are OK. I'd say 5-10 carbs for every hour of cardio. You need to make sure your body doesn't think it's starving or your weight loss will stall and you won't have as much energy for workouts.

        thanks for the updates, I think I'm doing ok. I get a lot of fat in, I'm just not hungry for more. When I'm hungry I eat, but I usually try to not eat after 8:00 p.m. or so.

        Thanks for all the tips. Oh, and thanks for the encouragement.
