I was so hungry last night!

I was so hungry last night!

Ok, so I ate the same amount of points yesterday as I do everyday and then went to the gym for an hour and a half and did an hour of cardio. I came home and ate my dinner, but I was starving a little while later. Could this be because I did more cardio than usual and my metabolism was up so I needed the food? I hope this makes sense. I am just curious why I was so hungry yesterday.

I'm sorry I don't know. I guess it is possible with the cardio, that your body burned more than normal. I don't think it's abnormal. Just your body saying, ummm.... I'm freaking hungry!

BTW - I heard that you are supposed to eat after you work out, because your body is in burning mode. Anyone know if that is true?

Octbride,

I heard that too about eating after you exercise. I do that so I hope it is true.

I heard that you don't do quite as much damage if you eat after you work out if you know what I mean. That the cardio raises your metabolism for a few hours. I don't know if it's true.

There are some days I am more hungry then others regardless of my physical activity.

If you want to lose weight, you should wait 1 hr before eating, otherwise you'll burn the food but not the body fat that is stored... That's what I have read somewhere.
