Why does lifting weights increase your appetite?
Just wondering. It's not because you need more calories. When I burn more calories from cardio I don't get that hungry. But my stomach turned into a black hole ever since lifting for the first time in a long time yesterday. Just wondering why that is? It can't be good for cutting on a calorie-controlled diet, I'll feel absolutely miserable if I would have to feel like this all the time. My stomach feels like it's sucking/eating itself, I'm that hungry. It's been like that ever since 2 hours after my workout completed like 18 hrs ago, couldn't fall asleep without a quick extra bite (which I counted towards todays calories). I ate 750 calories PWO as well (only ate 450 that day before workout).
