Im wondering if anyone else has this problem. Sometimes after working out, either 1hr tae-bo or fast-walking on the treadmill w/a little strength training, I am starving!! I have been pretty lucky to only grab the right snacks, pork rinds, jello, cheese or lunch meat, but Im really scared that 1 day I wont be so lucky ! Does anyone know if there is an explanation for this. Im just curious. Just FYI I usually workout out about 1-2 hours after dinner so I shouldnt be THAT hungry?

You may be experiencing a drop in your blood sugar do to the depletion of glycogen during your workout. If you are sticking to a low-carb diet your stores are already at a minimum before your workout so it would be logical that they would be lower after your workout. What I do to combat this is I have a 20gram protein shake 45 min before my workouts and another one immediately after. I also would recommend(if it is possible) working out first and then eating, that way you will take care of your hunger without having to snack My routine is to have my protein shake at work just before leaving and then working out when I get home and then eating about an hour after I finish my workout. Doing this I have been able to keep my hunger pains at bay.

Thank You! I will try working out before I eat and see if that helps Thanks again

You should eat whenever you are hungry, even if it means going above your calorie intake. The best time to eat protein is within an hour or 2 of your workout, it will help rebuild the muscle that was just torn down.
