| I just joined a fitness center and now know what hunger is! I am in weight watchers so track my points and have been using the Activity points. I do try to wait and just drink water but usually wind up having a piece of fruit if it isn't mealtime. Since my metabolism is on high, I would like to eat then and reap the benefit. It has helped a lot to plan the meals out daily here, so that when I return from the Center, I eat a snack that I had planned. My snacks are all high quality, fat free foods. I have reworked my meals to increase the protein in each day.

| I think sometimes we may feel hungry when indeed we do need to hydrate our body. At the same time after intense workouts sometimes I am very hungry and do a protein shake or a powerbar. This is normally after an exercise class where our metabolism is at its highest and we have burned 350 calories in 30 mins!

| I have read somewhere, maybe here, that when we think we are hungry we may just be thirsty. After working out and sweating to the oldies, it's probably just that, thirst. So, have a good drink. Of water, that is.

| I am not hungry at all after working out, unless it is swimming then I am usually starving. No idea why.

| A good suggestion, too. I feel that the urge to eat is a temporary thing, and will pass in a few minutes, if not indulged. In the meantime, something fairly harmless will help you get over that urge. Whatever works for you is the right answer, obviously.

I would recommend a whey protein shake about an hour before working out and 1/2 or so of a banana. And then have an apple and protein bar in the vehicle to consume as soon as you get in to drive. Let me know if you need specific product info: I'm trying not to physh or spam. I just know what works for me.
Best wishes,
Troy

| Working out makes me hungry, so I tend to overdo it. Best to have some water, to rehydrate, and wait maybe half an hour, and then a salad might be a good choice.

Should you eat after a workout and if so what should you eat?
