**This is why you are starved. Your body needs fuel. Just eat "healthy snacks" and keep away from the pizza lol!!! I know, about an hour after a weight session especially, I am starved. I end up eating three pieces of wholemeal toast for breakfast with a scraping of peanut butter.
What's the point, yep, you answered your own question :) Hil

**Perhaps since you are exercising more, burning more calories ..
Your body needs more to compensate .. what do you think
Just know you are doing the right thing Mel :)

**Do you remember Dish?
She used to eat 3 healthy snacks +3 healthy meals a day and said she really wasn't hungry.
I don't think she worked out as hard as you do though. I'm wondering if an appointment with a good nutritionist might not be worth it to plan with you enough calories for what you're doing and healthy meals so that you really don't feel so famished? Just a thought.

**;) Yup, you got it. :)

** I always go in the early a.m. so never eat beforehand, only have my cup of tea. This sounds "revolting" but I always push myself to the point of feeling sick and could not imagine going with anything in my stomach. I think if I was going later in the day I would wait at least an hour after eating. :) Hilary
Carbohydrates such as cereal bars, bananas etc. are the key - they provide energy in an accessible form to maintain blood sugar and glycogen levels, and are easily digested. You see tennis players eating bananas during a match. HTH Hil (got it "roughly" from BBC Health, Ask the Doctor)
ps great quit keep quitting every day for you and your family
