I'm hungry after working out.
Glycogen is consumed during exercise, and the body will supplement it in the form of fat after exercise, which will consume fat. If you don't eat after exercise, you won't have enough glycogen reserves and you won't be able to consume fat. Moreover, the nutritional intake after exercise is helpful to restore physical fitness, promote muscle synthesis, and have better training effect.

But how to eat after exercise is also very particular. First of all, drink plenty of water, and be sure to replenish water in time during exercise. Maybe you are not hungry, just sweating and losing water. People who drink 8 glasses of water a day can consume 200 kilocalories less food than those who drink less.

If you are really hungry, in addition to normal consumption, there may be something wrong with your eating habits, and the eating style before and after exercise will have an impact. Everyone's metabolic rate is different, and the eating status before exercise, training content and intensity are different, which will have an impact on the result of "will you be hungry after exercise?" Generally speaking, exercise burns calories and consumes glycogen, and the brain will feel "hungry". But not all sports will make you hungry. For example, HIIT will actually suppress your appetite because it is a more strenuous exercise. When people do strenuous exercise, in order to supply more oxygen, the body will inhibit the nerves that control appetite, and blood will flow more to the exercise system, and the reduction of visceral blood such as stomach will also reduce appetite.

It is recommended to eat within 45 minutes after exercise, because carbohydrates ingested within 1 hour after exercise are the least likely to be converted into fat. After exercise, food intake will first repair the lack of sugar in the body, and insulin secretion will increase after fitness. Naturally, you don't have to worry about sweating.
