Constantly hungry

Newbie

Hi everyone,

I am an 18 year old female, healthy diet and weight. For the past 6 months, I have been running 5-6 days a week. The past three months I have worked up to 3-4 miles a day, which I really enjoy. I try to cross-train but generally I exercise a little over an hour a day.

For some reason, over the past few months when my exercise has been most intese, I have noticed a HUGE change in my appetite. I am constantly hungry. I believe I need about 2500 calories a day and try to eat 6 small meals a day, with the proper protein and carb ratios. I don't really eat junk food.

Why am I hungry all the time, and how can I adjust my workout timing or diet so that I feel satisfied?

Thanks a lot!
Kathryn

I suggest you try eating oatmeal. I don't know why but I discovered while eating oatmeal for the past few weeks I tend to get full and I don't feel hungry often. Try it maybe it will help. Very Happy
