Your workout isn't for nothing, even if the calories burned and eaten are a wash. By building muscle, not only will you look buff, but you will raise your BMR since muscle burns a lot more calories 24/7 than fat. Not to mention the health benefits!
I am also sometimes ravenous after working out. Making sure you stay hydrated can help. Have a good drink after if not during. Also, maybe you can divide up your pre-exercise meal and eat a little before and a little after?
