My appetite is a raging beast.
Lately, it seems I can’t shovel food in fast enough. I’ve even started bringing raw almonds to munch during class in case I get hungry before lunchtime. Here’s how I fed the raging beast this morning:
I also made a cashew icing—out of cashew butter and almond milk—to drizzle over the oatmeal. It was better than an actual snickerdoodle cookie. Truly, it was! One beast tamed… for now.
But here’s a beast who can’t be tamed:
The formidable Henrymonster! Poor Henry wasn’t so sure he liked the snow.

Questions of the Day:
Are you hungrier on days you don’t exercise?
And do you find that your appetite changes with the seasons?
It’s so weird; even though I probably get less exercise in the winter, I’m always hungrier. Or maybe it’s not so weird. After all, it takes a lot of energy to stay warm! When the weather gets really hot, it sometimes feels like a chore to eat. And I’m definitely hungrier on my rest days… maybe because exercise is an appetite suppressant?
Aside: Such an honor vegan.com featured my Raw Chocolate Fudge Cake!
Thank you so, so much!
Your breakfast looks delicious!
I’m usually hungriest the day after I run a lot. (And by “a lot” I mean five miles or so…I’m no “runner”!)
I’m not very hungry directly after a run, but a few hours later I always crave some sort of protein-rich snack.
5 miles is a lot to me! i can go… 2? sometimes? on my good days lol.
lol I ran 3 miles this morning and it totally drained me…and coincidentally I’m pretty hungry right now…
Girl, my appetite is a raging beast lately too!! But I am definitely hungrier on days I exercise..it’s like I’m hungry non-stop!
And I love all things cinnamon! I haven’t had a snickerdoodle in forevssss
I feel like it’s a chore to eat when it’s hot out too. My appetite definitely goes down in the summer. I also feel like I’m hungrier on days when I don’t work out…..or maybe I’m just bored, haha.
yup, i’m always hungrier in the dead of winter, when i’m stuck in my house all day with nowhere to go and nothing to do but eat eat eat!
I bring raw nuts to class too! Or trail mix :).
Henry is so cute in that vest! I find that my appetite shifts daily sometimes, seemingly independently of whether I’m exercising or not…still trying to figure it out. I’ve read on a few websites that colder temperatures naturally lead to a rise in hunger, so maybe that’s it?
i think that makes the most sense. i read once that people in antarctica need like 8000 calories per day! maybe it was false information, but the whole idea of storing fat for winter makes sense to me. blubber is a natural blanket!
My appetite is usually the biggest on rest days after a long run. Then, I’m ready to eat the entire kitchen!
I’m always hungrier on rest days too!
well.. I’m hungry ALL the time.. thats why i snack at least 3 times a day… i work it though!
i think I am hungrier on rest days, but I kind of eat the same everyday, so it don’t make too much of a difference! umm snickerdoodle oatmeal.. HELLO YUMVILLE!
Yumville? Haha that’s where I live too!
