A massive day. (Food wise)
So for the bast 3 and a half weeks or so, I have been hitting the gym almost daily for a fair level of Weight training and Cardio. My calories have been mostly the same on a day to day basis, with few changes in my overall eating quantity of calories.
Until today.
I took a day off from the gym since I was pretty sore and felt even though it was a cardio day that there was a potential risk of hurting myself, so I took it off.
Hungry does not even begin to describe how much I ate today.
We are talking massive hunger here, and not cravings, we are talking stomach growling, water does nothing to aleviate so it's not a hydration issue hunger.
three thousand calories of hunger so far from 6 pm January 8th till this time right now.
Now bare in mind I hit the gym this morning and I had energy and strength, and improvement on all my exercises cardio and weight training alike, I am talking some real noticeable stuff here for me.
What I am wondering is as follows, I anticipate the possibility of plateauing and even potential gain here and there due to increased muscle mass. But are occasional strikes of massive hunger normal while dieting and exercising. Also bare in mind that none of this is junk food and it is all plenty healthy and filled with nutrition.
Yeah long story short is a massive bout of hunger normal now and again while dieting and exercising? Is it also possible that this is a new energy need on my bodies part that just now struck today out of the blue?
Of course I could just wait and have the passage of time tell me, but alot of you seem more knowledgeable then me on such topics, so I figured I might get a potentially early idea of what I need to prepare for.
