The key to exercise and diet in my opinion is fuelling rather than refuelling.
I did two long runs last weekend, and whilst I was able to survive off 2 energy bars and a bit of breakfast for over 8 hours if running between the two runs, I have spent the last 7 days hunting down every bit of food I can find, double lunches, cookies, afternoon, snacks and second dinners have all been fair game.
I don't know what the amount I need to stop this happening but in honing to shoot for 50g of carb per hour for the next few weeks as well as eating something appropriate before endurance activities.
I feel like "the hunger" has now subsided, but I'm going to have to get back into my eating routine again, which shouldn't be too hard as it still involves lots of things I like to eat.
