So I typically go straight to the gym after a long day at work. I go home and it's 7:30-8:00ish by he time I eat supper. I try to eat light for the most part. But then about an hour later as I watch Tv, I get craving for something sweet.

Does this happen to you guys? And what do you do about it?

Happens sometimes if I ate too light for dinner. I sometimes have a light snack or I go to bed depending on the time.

Pop yellow popcorn and mix it with seasoning.

They have sweet seasonings at the store that don't add calories

It's called a sweet tooth, it has nothing to do with post workout. Nobody cares that you work out bro

Sometimes (like today) I get super super hungry after a workout when I have already eaten. I realize my body is telling me it needs strength to rebuild itself so i should eat something but if I eat shite, it will do no good. So I'll eat something that's extremely high in protein.

All this time I thought it was hunger pangs.

Try drinking more water

Try saving more calories for after your workout

Eat more calorie dense foods for dinner- lean proteins, complex carbs, etc

Also try to eat more fiber throughout the day and with dinner.

Try a casein protein shake after dinner. It's much thicker than Whey and takes 4-6 hours to break down in your system. It really fills you up. It's great to take at night too because it slowly releases protein over the 6 hours.

You're probably under eating. Have a bigger dinner or eat a healthy snack.

I go the gym so I don't have to ignore those cravings.

However, I normally eat a peanut butter and banana sandwich before the gym, protein shake with dinner after, and that normally does the trick.

The more my workout load increases the hungrier I get.

There is nothing wrong with healthy snacks. Just watch your portion size.

If I'm really trying not to eat something else then I drink a huge glass of water to try and feel full.
