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!
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!
I’d say my appetitate is more influenced by my training levels more so than the season… but the season does affect it, too! I’m definitely not craving as big of meals in the summer. It just gets so dang hot here in NC!
I don’t really have a specific workout routine so I don’t know if I’m hungrier when I exercise or not. But I do know I’m hungriest around Christmas time! Don’t know if that’s because of the cold… or of all the good food surrounding me!
I think I eat more when I don’t exercise because I’m typically sitting around bored. exercise keeps me occupied for a long time and out of the pantry! 🙂
I’m hungrier the day AFTER a hard workout. And my appetite is always raging immediately following! Seasons doesn’t affect my appetite as much as the actual foods I crave, though.
I’m always so much more hungry on days I dont run! Working out helps me to loose my cravings!
I’m the same way! I’m always so active in the summer that I can go for hours without eating. In the winter, I snack so much and am much less active.
i definitely feel more hungry on rest days. active days, not as much. my cravings and appetite changes with the season and pretty much craves the food thats in season at the time 🙂
I wouldn’t say that my appetite changes with the seasons, but I do find that in summer if I let myself get too hungry I get very nauseous and dizzy. In winter I am just straight hungry. Blame the heat!
I always get more hungry when I don’t excercise…..I think its something to do with energy levels. I feel more energetic when I work out and therefore don’t feel the need to eat!
Love love love Henry! Poor guy, though. My dog hates the snow too! Almost as much as me! 😕
I’m just hungrier at different times of the month…if you catch my drift. I could eat everything in the freakin’ house at this point and still not be satisfied.
Aaah snickerdoodles…mmm….! I’m just hungry all the time. Period! 😛
YAY you are even more famous now than you were before!! Autograph please? 😉
