My runger is great
All this extra running has made me constantly hungry. No joke. This morning, this was breakfast at 8:30am: old fashioned oats, cooked with almond milk, chopped up apple, a little honey and a handful of walnut bits. And a sprinkle of cinamon. Very filling, right? Wrong. I was super hungry by 10am. And last night, I had a small porkchop, brocolli and a huge amount of risotto, and I was hungry an hour later.
All the hunger is starting to really annoy me. I have to eat lots of carbs to fuel the running, and I try to balance it with protein, but I'm always hungry. I wasn't planning on gaining weight while training. This is crazy.
Re: My runger is great
This is actually awesome!
Your metabolism is kicked up into gear. You most likely won't gain by eating more; you just need to fuel it the right way.
Have calorie dense foods on hand- like nuts, peanut butter, avocados, beans/legumes, and yes, dark chocolate. Most of the time, they will fill you up longer (along with protein of course).
Maybe try making a couple egg whites with your oatmeal (which sounds ah-mazing BTW) in the morning. It may fill you up more.
Thanks Jackie! I was hoping I wasn't crazy.
What was really crazy was Sun/Mon for me. I did a long run on Sunday (4 miles! longest ever!), and I was hungry, but not like super crazy hungry. I had a couple of large-ish meals after that run. But on Monday, when I had a rest day, I was hungry ALL. DAY. LONG. And I didn't want to eat a ton because I wasn't working out so I could counteract the extra calories. And I was baking for a large chunck of the day, so the runger didn't help me not eat the stuff I made.
Nope, not crazy! Completely normal!!!
Great great great job on the 4 miles!!!
On the days you are resting but get super hungry, just try to make healthful decisions, lots of protein, lots of veggies to fill you up.
Gosh I wish I would take my own advice sometimes!!!
LMAO, "runger." I was like, wtf is that???
Sounds like your training is going well!! Keep kicking as$!
This. All of it.
