Why do I feel hungry a lot?

[Anonymous]

So I'm on a training program that requires me to eat 7 times a day, I can do it all fine and well but even after my biggest meal of the day about 25-30 min after I feel hungry again? Someone told me this is a good sign it shows my metabolism is working well, true or not? If not what do you think?

I'm assuming this training requires a lot of lifting? Repairing sore muscles is one of the nutrient intensive things your body can go through. Healing muscle sinews ain't cheap, and the resources need to come from somewhere. You'll find the more you lift, your appetite will shoot through the roof. Possibly even more so than if you were to do intense cardio, at least for me it's like that.

I become hungry after a run, but I become ravenous after a lifting session, and for a few days afterward.

How big are these 7 meals? How many calories? How many carbs and how much protein? How many calories are you burning in your training program?

Do you eat a lot of sweets or carbs in that meal?
