I'm not talking post workout, I'm talking random cup of water with whey protein, followed by an insatiable craving to eat anything in sight 10 mins later.
Though this is probably a good thing since a have a naturally weak appetite.

Im hungry all the dam time recently. Have been eating on off non-stop since I came into work this morning
edit: just read title properly. Nah, not that Ive noticedWe have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.

If I'm not mistaken, whey is product of dairy, and dairy can cause insulin spikes, which would explain why you feel hungry later. Kind of like how you can feel hungry after a piece of fruit.
Insulin in the absence of carbs/sugar could be resulting in low blood sugar, and thus causing your body to crave food/sugar to bring it back up again.
People like to forget that proteins cause insulin responses as well, they just don't have a glycemic load like carbs do.

Dairy causes insulin spikes because it contains protein and lactose. Whey has the lactose removed but the protein still causes an insulin release. Insulin levels will be in proportion to the amount of protein/carb in someone with a healthy metabolism. The body does not deliberately force blood sugar into a nose dive just because someone ate some whey. You'll actually find that blood sugar is maintained very effectively in a tight band in most people.
People need to stop worrying about insulin unless they have specific metabolic problems.
