This is normal, right ?

Depends...are you training for a race or just sitting on a couch?

During recess today in court I ran to my office and inhaled two granola bars !

I think I'm eating enough but maybe I'm not.

I'm in my peak weeks and I am a walking zombie.  And I can't seem to eat enough food either...

YES! with this training all I do is eat. I'll have dinner and then be hungry again an hour later.

Ha,ha- funny because that's what I've been experiencing too with my IM Cozumel training lately.  I never really feel like I'm doing a whole lot during the week and then on Sunday when I see my totals I'm thinking "No wonder why I'm tired and hungry all the time."  Try incorporating more protein in your diet to keep you fuller longer.  I've been eating scrambled egg whites with cheese and a piece of whole wheat toast for breakfast instead of a bowl of cheerios- the cereal was just making me hungrier.  I try to eat fish or chicken with a veggie for dinner and usually drink a glass of milk right before bedtime- I was waking up in the middle of the night absolutely ravenous and couldn't sleep.  I'm also back to drinking at least one protein shake a day while I'm at work.  And oh yeah- the cottage cheese with fruit on top is a nice snack too!

The hubby and I went grocery shopping at Sam's this past weekend and no kidding- we got like 2 of almost everything.  Between the 2 of us we are putting a serious dent in the fridge each week   As far as being tired- I'm back to my weekend naps and I've been trying to get 9 hours of sleep every night.  After me misplacing my iPOD, keys, license, etc. and feeling zombie-ish I figured I needed more sleep.

Sometimes the fatigue goes with lack of calories so that could be it.  Or just the whole IM training is exhausting itself.

I'm getting the impression that the hunger thing is totally normal. I'm hungry an hour after I finish most meals and also wake up at night hungry.

It's like feeding a teenager. I'm getting plenty of sleep and just trying to get enough food down, you would think I was in the middle of a growth spurt.

Same here! 6 weeks out till Chesapeakman, I've stopped buying lunch at work cause it costs too much to feed me, and starting taking left overs from dinner the night before for lunch, along with yogurt/fruit/pretzles to work...i think my desk drawer is now a smorgasbord  of snacks...i literally eat every 2 hours....and yes, tired-o so tired!

I'm doing Redman too! My husband I are both doing the full IM and we have a huge grocery bill too!  We both get up in the middle of the night and eat too!!
