Extreme hunger after tough workouts...

[jhunt]

Since just after Chirstmas I've been using my Fitbit and tracking food. I'm happy to say that I'm down 7 pounds. I was 198 pounds, now 191.2 or so. Prior to tracking food, I worked out regularly, probably 60 minutes at least 3 days a week. 

So in the last few days, it's becoming really, really tough to stuck to my 750 calorie deficit. I mean, I'm literally starving. Previously as long as I ate a small meal every couple hours I felt just fine. I worked out yesterday aroun 4PM for 60 minutes and burned 667 calories per my polar chest strap. Beyond that, we used some heavier weights with this workout.

I'm wondering if my body is really churning right now, and perhaps needs extra calories because of the weight training along with 30 minutes of pretty intense cardio?

I want to stay the course, but I'm telling you, my body is telling me to eat because I'm starvingly hungry. Just wanted to put this out there. I'm thinking that I could add 500 or so calories and be at a deficit of 250 today. Even this seems like a struggle.

Any carbs cause insulin to rise, the speed they make it through the gut doesn't matter to the fact it will go up.

How fast it goes up yes, but no difference to the fact it will.

As well as protein causing it to go up. And excess protein converted back to carbs.

This references the studies.

But good news, you need insulin to benefit from that protein when lifting.
