Hungrier when you excercise?

If you excercise daily or at least 4x/week:

Do you find yourself hungrier?

the same as when you dont work out?

or less hungry?

Ive been working out alot more than I used to lately, and Im always SO hungry! On top of that Im trying to follow WW and my points are done so fast!

i have found that i am a little hungrier, becasue your body is burning off more calories while working out and it craves more fuel i think.. just my thought...lol but i am def. starving after a workout which stinks cause i work out and night and do not want to eat late before going to bed:(

yes you SHOULD be hungrier!

This is a good sign. You sould be eating more when you sorkout, but cleaner and healthier, more frequent, smaller meals.

you should eat right after your workout- within a half hour. have good carbs, 25-30 grams of protein (preforably whey) and some good fats.

Thanks girls! At least I know its not just me!

Someone told me that if you get hungry more often (esp when your working out) that means your metabolism is speeding up.
Anyone know if that's true?

I have been exercising 5 times a week and I am always starving.

I was told to eat protein within half an hour of working out, this will help build the muscle.

I am not hungry right after a workout. I am hungry about an hour later. But then, I'm starving!

I just started personal training and my trainer said that you need to eat something within 15 min after working out. Even its just a peice of fruit or something small.
