Tag: Gym hunger

According to sports dietitians, it is completely normal to feel increased hunger after starting a new exercise routine or upping your intensity. This common phenomenon happens because your body is sending signals that it needs to be refueled and recover from the energy expenditure of your workout.

Research shows that starting strength training can boost your metabolic rate for up to 36 hours after a workout. It is a very common and normal phenomenon to find yourself asking, "Why am I so hungry when I start the gym?"
