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!
I’m definitely hungrier on days I don’t workout..which makes sense because that’s when the body’s healing and needs the nutrients the most! 🙂
I totally go into “hibernation” eating mode in the winter! And man… I’m about a week out from the lady visitor, so this week in particular I’m RAVENOUS!!!
As my psychologist likes to point out, I am not very aware of my body, so I don’t get hungry-or full for that matter. One of the reasons I count calories so meticulously.
Yes I do feel hungrier when I do not exercise! I also feel more or less hungry depending on my hormones. How lovely it must feel to be a man–hungry and even-tempered all the time.
Henry looks too cute in his little coat, even tho he’s not sure about that snow!
Hungrier in the winter? I think it’s nature’s way of “fattenting us up for the winter” because let’s fact it, biologically or evolutionarily speaking, nature knows we could starve to death in the winter if we were hunters/gatherers AND we need the additional fat for warmth. So i think it follows suit that our appetites are stronger in the winter and in the summer, not as much.
Just my non scientific .02 of course 🙂
I hear you, lately I just can’t stop eating! It is funny that you mention it, as today is my day off and I have been wanting to eat more. The body needs to refuel!
Your pup is so cute!! Love the sweater 🙂
I made your Single-Serving Cupcake and posted it on my blog today – but linked back to you for credit of course! I changed it up though and also made it into a cookie 🙂
I’m usually hungrier on rest days too. I’m never hungry right after a run, usually later, but the huge appetite doesn’t set in until the next day!
Ditto to that! I’ve been suffering from what I call a serious case of BPS–Bottomless Pit Syndrome. I’ve been filling the void with handfuls of granola:)
Exercise is an exercise suppressant, so it diminishes your appetite. I’m with you in feeling hungrier on non- exercising days. Whenever I run, bike or do other physical activities, my appetite fades. I sure prefer the later- feeling my actual hunger!
