Appetite increasing with training?

[DRLski]

I recently just increased my training to start putting some real base miles in and I've noticed my appetite has just about doubled if not tripled, especially with the cold weather, particularly at a few hours before bed. I know an increase in training will increase appetite but I'm trying to lose weight during my base, how to I control my appetite without diet pills and etc?

you dont have to "cut" your appetit jsut eat every 2-4 hrs but make it good meals in small portions.
you need the right type of carbs that are found in rice that your body can quickly burn energy with it and it wont make you fat.

i eat rice with a piece of griled chicken for my inbetween meals .. it fills the void of wanting to eat pluss it gives your body the protien you need for building that red muscle tissue you are wanting plus the rice gives you the boost in energy that you need

Make sure that you always have fruits in your house. Whenever you feel hungry, have an apple or banana. A glass of low fat milk will also help you. You will need carbs and fiber after training, so the idea is to have good carbs like fruits, milk, whole wheat bread etc.
Stay away from those junk, fatty, deep fried food after training. It will offset all the training you did.
As dokie suggested, have 4-5 meals in small portions every day.

Happy training!

eat when you are hungry, just eat the right things. foods high in fiber will you help you feel "full" while still keeping your calories in check. go for fresh veggies and fruits, low fat granola bars, and for me some smart pop popcorn is great snack before bed time. dont forget the water. good luck. later.

If you're hungry, eat. Just eat quality food.

What is your recovery food plan? Hitting that well can reduce your appetite a fair bit.

Finally, when are you riding, and when are you getting hungry?

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches are good. It'll likely do more to suppress your appetite than a boatload of carbs, and it's delicious.

During your base phase, the nutrition thing is a little easier to handle. Once you hit your build phase, though, you need to feed the fire.

That's exactly what I was going to post. Eat when you are hungry, just eat right. When I went through the process of losing 65lbs I ate much more food then when I was gaining weight, i just ate smart. And fiber isnt very digestible which makes you feel fuller since you stomach has to work so hard at attempting to. That's why when you are counting carbs you do not count fiber. And drink plenty of water.
