Metabolism and Hunger

You likely find you're hungry when you leave the gym, or get hungry earlier in the day. As frustrating as it is to have to eat MORE on the days you work out, there’s a great way to deal with your hunger in a way that won’t counter-act all those hard-spent hours at the gym.

Try eating six small meals during the day instead of the typical three (and you better be eating breakfast for these same reasons!!) When you continually fuel your body, it jump starts your metabolism and helps you more efficiently use your food for energy, and can help you in reaching your weight-loss goals. Not only does it keep your metabolism going strong, but it also helps keep your energy level more constant throughout the day so you won’t be feeling the consequences of an early morning workout at 3pm at the office.
