Does anyone else get really really hungry after a run? Did 7k for the first time on Wednesday and all day Thursday I was ravenous. I am wanting to lose weight but all I did was eat sandwiches on Thursday π
Running appetite : Does anyone else get really... - Couch to 5K
Running appetite
I'm the opposite on the days I run I'm not hungry. π
Iβm so jealous! I love running but not the hunger! It seems that when I go to the gym my appetite is reduced and I can lose weight and build muscle but when I run, itβs the opposite!
I think it's just about finding the right food to eat if you're hungry.
My favourite at lunchtime is poached eggs and whole meal seeded toast.
Maybe you could have some ready chopped up fruit in a tub.

I'm the opposite, find running supresses my appetite.
yes yes....done pr last week and eat a small loaf and half a pot of jam the rest of the day.
i was a shameful cookiemonster.
While going through c25k I was seriously hungry all the time, couldn't get enough calories in. Weird as I'm normally a very small eater. Then suddenly it was if my body recalibrated and I'm back to normal eating again. Make sure the food you have beside you is good for you - fill up with fresh fruit and veg - raw carrots take so long to chomp through you can pretend you've eaten more than you actually have. Home made vegetable soup is another good one, full of goodness and leaves you feeling fuller and hydrated longer.
Thanks guys. I work in a school and started to get shaky on Thursday despite eating normally. I am the opposite when I do weights/body weight exercises. I normally find exercise to be the best appetite suppressant but not running π. I also have pcos so blood sugar is an issue for me. Iβve decided to really watch my sugar intake again, drink loads more water and start taking a metformin again each evening. Will let you know how I get on!
Since my brother got a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, I've moved to low carb, higher fat and find I don't get ravenously hungry - unless I fall off the wagon. Then for days after, the carb cravings are ghastly, like an addiction. Cheese, nuts and a mug of hot water seem to be my best cures, and then keeping away from the food cupboards!
Yes I do. After a run, I want to eat the entire contents of the house! Unfortunately, I'm a type 1 diabetic and carb control is vital. Doesnt stoo me even eyeing up the cats bowl π€ͺπ
I get you totally! I need to watch sugar etc as pcos is linked to type 2 diabetes. I am going to try meal prepping in advance, esp with eggs as they always help me stick to diet.
To be honest, no π¬.
I don't eat or drink before, I have a glass of water and a cup of coffee after and that can set me up for hours.
If could stop all snacking/nibbling, and just eat at meal times I would probably be like a racing snake π
Next years resolution !
I always get hungry the next day to Itβs hard to stay in control then, my go to is eggs
You will definitely lose body fat if you run regularly. It is normal to be ravenous the next day and your body needs the calories. Just listen to it and eat protein and carbs, staying away from snack and junk food.
No, thank goodness!
Though I always run on an empty stomach as I get indigestion if I eat beforehand...so am usually eating tea, or on a Sunday morning breakfast about an hour or so after a run anyway!
I think as your body gets used to running longer distances it will stop begging you for food π...good luck π
