Q.

What can I eat post-exercise to stop my hunger?

Hi,

I am having problems with food after my exercise. I regularly go to body pump and Taebo classes which cause me no problems at all, in fact I often feel full after these classes. It's my sessions with a personal trainer that are causing me to be starving.

The trainer reckons I am burning a minimum of 350 - 400 calories per hr session. So yesterday in total I burnt 400 calories through my session and 315 from my pedometer. Yesterday before my session I had eaten 1353 calories (my limit for the day is 1568 with 200 to burn through exercise). Following my session I was starving so have bowl of Fruit and fibre with semi skimmed milk. Two hours later I am again so hungry I felt sick so I had a toasted bagel - its now 11pm so I go to bed. Unfortunately I wake up at 4am again feeling so hungry, I try a drink but after 30 minutes I am still hungry.

What can I eat after my sessions to ensure a good nights sleep? I can cope with eating some of my calories but really don't want to eat them all. My sessions are at 6 - 7 pm twice a week.

Thanks (a starving weight loser!!!)
