So after a workout I usually eat. But I find that when I eat after a work out, I'm still hungry or I get hungry quickly and I don't know why? Any ideas?

Exercise can cause your blood sugar to drop, which can make a person very hungry. If you are eating sugar, starch or carb-heavy foods right after exercising, it may bring your blood sugar up too fast, which can make it crash again a short time later, making you hungry all over again. Try to stick to proteins or at least a good mix of protein and carbs for your food after exercising. Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger, so make sure you are drinking enough.

First time I experienced this was after roller derby practice back when I did it, sadly I wasn't eating well so I'd swing by mcdonalds, but now I grab a protien bar or protien shake, or I wait to eat if it's close to meal time
