When you rigorously workout, it is possible to feel like your daily calorie target isn’t enough. That’s okay. Before you increase your calories, however, you should make sure you are eating correctly for exercise. Always try to have a preworkout snack, about 45 minutes to an hour before exercising. Your post workout meal should be about 45 to 60 minutes after working out, and contain both protein and carbs. Eating according to this pattern will yield the best results and, hopefully, give you the energy you need to keep trekking through your workouts.
If you try this eating plan and still feel that you're hungry and undernourished, up your calorie intake on days you exercise by about 50 to 200 calories. I recommend snacking on fruits and veggies rather than dense, high-calorie foods to increase your calorie intake. You do have to remember calories in and calories out, but your effort is also about maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. Staying within your calorie range is the best option to stay on track and not feel deprived. JM
