Exercise! - Workouts and Hunger

Does anyone else seem to get hunry after they work out and if so what's something good to eat to not ruin it?


i've notice i seem to crave toast and bagels about a half hour to hour after i workout. mostly carbs.:?::?::?:

Fruit! Bananas in particular -- they will provide the carbs and nutrients such as potassium needed to replenish your system after you exercise..you could combine bananas with a small fat-free yogourt (calcium! protein!) and a handful of bran buds (fiber!) for a low-cal, healthy balanced snack.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. I also like to make sure I have a protein snack before my workout. A banana and a LF string cheese are a nice pre-workout snack for me.

After a workout, if needed, I prefer a protein snack. But, that is just me. Carbs only seem to work against me - I just crave more.

If its carbs you crave, indulge a little. Always pair it with protein. I'm a big fan of toasting one slice of wheat bread and putting peanut butter on it.

thanks for all the tips

So, question for all...I workout after work and leave the gym around 5:30pm...dinnertime. Is it bad to eat dinner after you work out?
