I'm always hungry!

How about a double cheeseburger, fries and sweet tea from Mac's?

Ha ha, just this morning I impressed the server at the greasy spoon with how much of their giant breakfast (four eggs, pound of potatoes, 10 slices of bacon) I put away. (I'm a skinny woman.)

You're an endurance athlete. You need fuel. EAT. If you need something to fill you up, try nuts or nut butter.

The boy and I hit up Five Guys Burgers and Fries this evening after I picked him up from swim club and I had ran and swam as well......Each had a big ole double cheese burger....prolly near 1/2 lb, and a giant order of double fried french fries in peanut oil.  

mmmmm......mmmmm.....mmmmm!!!!!

I feel good!!!

If you are hungry.....eat!!.....  Mostly slow (healthy),  sometimes fast (so good you KNOW it's bad for you).  

The trick is to not eat if your really not hungry, that's where you get in trouble.

Let's face it....the best part of doing what we do is that you can eat what most people want to eat, but are afraid of because it just keeps adding to their belt line.

i find a large sweet potato mid afternoon can curb a lot of my appetite and help me refuel from whatever morning workout i had in time for my afternoon one.

that being said i have been eating 4-5 meals a day for the last 2 months, small ones though.

Your kid should eat more during the day at school.

The worst part for me is I've toned down my training for the past two weeks because I picked up a job, flippant schedule, etc. and my appetite has stayed the same. Ever gain 10 pounds in two weeks? This guy has. And I can't control it, either. If I try and control what I eat I lose it at like 6pm. If I don't... well, I don't.

Need to start ramping up the distances on Monday since my schedule is getting more stable -.-

Totally know this feeling.  My poor kids don't want me around their food for fear I will swipe their fries, etc. 

Amazed, though , when last week I didn't exercise much for 3 or 4 days and my eating dropped drastically! Really made be realize that for some of us it could be easier to lose weight when NOT training. 

I tend to eat to fullness, but have been learning to watch the composition of what I'm eating. Not just "healthy", but what kind of healthy.

At one point, I just got an idea of about what I should be getting for something like protein. Then made sure to get in several solid protein sources throughout the day and call it good. I'll learn the numbers in the first place, then mentally have a "low, medium, high" for things as that's good enough for me. I'm learning to do that with a few other things as well.

For carbs, I didn't really figure out an amount to get to, but just watch the sources depending on my activity level. I've been taking it rather easy after my last race, so haven't been having nearly as much of this as before. I've been working on filling up more with other things, as it seems to be rather easy to get enough carbs.

ETA: I've gotten away with eating to fullness quite a bit because my expenditure is very high. I've regularly had one of if not the highest volume in the monthly totals, and it's definitely not noodling along.

you need to discover the power of beef jerky!!
