Exact opposite here. I get much hungrier on days that I work out. I basically need to eat an extra meal to not feel ravenous. Not great for weight loss unfortunately.


You and GP are saying slightly different, not mutually-exclusive things, that matches my experience:

For a good hour or two after the exercise, I'm barely hungry at all. Three or more hours afterwards, and I'll be far hungrier than I would normally have been at that time.


After weight training I am always hungry like crazy. But try to stick to healthier snacks so it won't counter your weight loss as much :)


Depends on the exercise. Cardio can suppress appetite for a time, resistance training not so much.


In my experience cardio only suppresses appetite for the duration of the cardio. So even running two hours a day (a lot more than most runners, including myself, do), there's still ~14 hours of day to cram calories in my face.


Depends on intensity. Vomiting after marathons and triathlons isn't uncommon, and intensity that's slightly lower than that can still induce nausea which can last awhile. Reactions to all sorts of training are largely individual I think.


> Vomiting after marathons and triathlons isn't uncommon

Those are long distance, race intensity efforts. Most workouts aren't going to be race pace and most runners for fitness aren't running marathon distances, esp. not for every workout. In my experience, the nausea quickly subsides once my heart rate drops below 190.

> Reactions to all sorts of training are largely individual I think.

Totally agree. I was talking about my personal experience (anecdotal).
