If you are in a calorie surplus and still feeling hungry after your workout, you may need to consider increasing your caloric intake or adjusting your macronutrient ratios to include more satiating foods. It's important to fuel your body adequately for your workouts, and if you're not getting enough energy from your diet, you may feel hungry and fatigued.

You could try incorporating more protein and fiber-rich foods into your meals, as these can help keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer periods of time. Additionally, make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day, as dehydration can sometimes be mistaken for hunger.

If you continue to struggle with hunger despite being in a calorie surplus, it may be helpful to consult with a registered dietitian or nutritionist who can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs and goals.

Up to you. The reason refeeding when fasting is important, is because you start adapting to fasting and losing the hunger. The feeling of hunger is where many benefits lie. Ghrelin aka hunger hormone is a potent HGH secretagogue, and Human Growth Hormone is a major fat burner. So one way to go about it is to remember that the more hunger you feel the more gherlin you have, meaning the more growth hormone is secreted. People who practiced fasting for years don't even feel hunger, and that means their metabolism has slowed down, which isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing, unless your goal is to lose weight.

Go with not the feeling of hunger, but with energy levels. If you feel weak all day long, you probably need more food.
