They want you to keep your exercise under 200 minutes a week, which is about 30 minutes every day.
Working out boosts your metabolism and makes it run a bit faster. The effect of working out on your metabolism lasts about a day, so it's totally common to be hungrier if you're getting more active.
This is where a lot of people get in trouble, you think now that you're working out you can have more calories but people end up thinking they burned many more calories than they do, so they eat a lot more and can actually gain weight or stop losing when they start working out. Be careful to stay on plan, same portions, same foods. If you need to curb the hunger, try adding a fiber drink in the afternoon or drinking a lot more water during this period of time. When you do get hungry, drinking 8 oz of water and then seeing if you still are hungry is a good way to get by.
Good luck and congrats on the new exercise routine.
