Tag: Post workout appetite

According to a 2023 review in the journal *Appetite*, the connection between exercise and subsequent food intake is highly individual and depends on several factors. So, do you eat more when you workout? The answer is not a simple 'yes' or 'no', but a complex interplay of hormones, workout intensity, and mindset.

Intense exercise like F45 can burn 500-800 calories in a single 45-minute session, triggering powerful hunger signals as your body seeks to replenish lost energy. If you've found yourself ravenous and wondering, "Why am I so hungry after F45?", you're experiencing a normal physiological response to high-intensity training.

According to research, high-intensity exercise can significantly suppress the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin for several hours post-workout. Understanding why do I eat less when I'm more active is rooted in a complex interplay of hormonal and physiological changes.
