Hungry!

I am transitioning and just wondering what you guys eat on days when you work out...have done my normal workout this morning (around 2 hours mixture of cardio and weights) and I have been SOOOO hungry all day! Can't seem to get full and am craving grains big time and generally being grouchy.

I didn't eat before the gym, had an orange and a massive veg salad when I got back, a banana and a grapefruit mid-afternoon, veg salad early evening and tomato "soup" for dinner.

Did I need more fruit for calories???

Enjoy New Year's eve

Yep

Have fruit post workout-- enough to satisfy, if this means 12 banana or 10 oranges, then eat up

Or you could make a post workout shake

Hemp seed, cacao, banana ..something like that! maybe coconut water too..very good!

Yeah they say when you are craving grains you haven't gotten enough carbs -- which for raw means fruit! When first raw it's easy to not realize just how much fruit you gotta eat to get enough calories.

Yes, more fruit.

Some nuts and seeds too.

Yes. Better to eat 'too much' fresh fruit or vegetables.....during your transition to YOUR goals...rather than not enough. Too much healthy food...and simple eating...will probably go a long way to restore and promote health. Just my experiences.

I don't go to gym, but I eat 6-8 pounds of fruits & veggies / day.
There is no question if I need to eat more, since I eat every time untill I'm full. (I have "normal" BMI).

I wonder how much other males eat (especially the ones which work out on a daily basis)?

Pls. excuse my English - foreigner.
