Hungrier on injection days?

[rhino5169]

I'm not 100% positive but feel like I'm hungrier on injection days.
is this possible?
anyone else feeling this?

My appetite slightly increased once my protocol was stable, but it wasn't tied to my injection schedule. Assume you're correct, and you noted you aren't absolutely sure, how long had you been on your protocol before this was noticed?

This Friday will be the end of my 4th week. I kind of noticed maybe end of last week but forgot until today when I'm hungrier than usual. Besides hitting a bakery and subway today just got up and wolfed down a bowl of cheerios. Not normally like me to eat this bad but this is 2nd or 3rd time on injection days so wondering if it correlates.

Rhino, Yes it happens to me. Take a look at the hunger control ingredients of Raw Fit meal powder, Garden of Life. Shaker bottle with ice, Raw Fit, add a scoop of whey isolate, maca, glutamine. I normally use only pure unflavored isolate but keep choc flavor around for just this purpose. After a while I follow up with real food, a few sticks of jiacama, carrot, cucumber. Often a few tablespoons of organic cottage cheese or clean greek yogurt with frozen organic blueberries. Dairy you need to be careful to avoid bloat from lactose. Green Valley has none. Nancy's does but also has high probiotic count which may help as does being free of additives such as gum stabilizers, guar, carageenan. Drink a few cups of fresh brewed ice green tea.

The only time I noticed increase hunger, is when I first started TRT. Now my appetite is back to where it was originally.

Thanks guys, good to know im not the only one!

Vince, how long was your increased appetite for?

Re-ride, this is what I take. It's very similar to yours and also is the best tasting protein powder i've ever had which makes it easier to want to drink.

I tried a garden of life product once and it wasnt that good but it wasnt the one you posted. How does it taste?

 

[Vince]

Only a short time, no more than a month. I had to be careful what I ate.

I noticed no such change even though I took copious notes.

The only two things I can correlate to increased hunger are:

1) Consuming too many carbs. In me this triggers insullin which triggers hunger.
2) Intense & frequent workouts.

Rhino, Regarding the taste of protein powders I don't understand what pp do not simply buy pure powders then add whatever flavoring they like. Be sure to shake with ice.

I did not recommend that you buy Raw Fit by G-O-L only that you look at their hunger control formula. It works for me. The several proven ingredients of this hunger control formula are widely available elsewhere.

I purchased a supply of Raw Fit after getting a really steep discount. Mostly I don't recommend formulated powders to anyone unless they have deep pockets. Instead buy pure protein, whey, rice, pea ect, and add the supplements. Or add supplement powders to real food. For me that's mostly aminos.

I looked at the MRM product you linked. I'm sure it's great but does it contain a hunger control package? I guess if it did you would not have started this thread. For me the cost is prohibitive.

Thanks for clarifying.

I take chromium when I remember to and it curbs my appetite, except not for the last few days. Today again I had 2 donuts and then chinese food. I am like Leesto in that carbs make me crave more.
I've been 98% strict diet for the last year with short breaks here and there but I feel like im spiraling out of control.
Starting tomorrow im going hardcore again.

I did not notice an increase in being hungry mind you I was already eating 4000 calories pre trt and lifting.

Can't.....Stop....Eating.....
Ugh

I'm also a carb addict, so now for over 6 years, I've eaten low carbs. It's probably the best thing I've done for my health, greatly improve my lipid panel, weight and insulin resistance.

Congrats vince. I agree and for the past 18 months I've been real good with that. Any carbs I've had consisted of broccoli or vegatables.
lately I've had the cravings and once I break the seal on any particular day it opens the floodgates.
every day I start of good and with a strict mindset but I falter. Being I was able to control this for so long is why I was wondering if the test has something to do with it.
I think I'm going to have to play the game and increase my calories intentionally with protein shakes on purpose and maybe that will stave off the carbs.

it's like a drug addict. "One is Too Many And A Thousand Not Enough" carbs is My Drug.

it's like a drug addict. "One is Too Many And A Thousand Not Enough" carbs is My Drug.

But once you experience days or weeks of abundant health and energy, absence of aches & pains, great sleep, muscle gain, and other benefits, the carb drug loses a lot of its appeal. Eh Vince?

Last October when I went Arizona, and saw the beautiful Grand Canyon. I ate some chocolate and I knew for sure, I would never have enough to satisfy me. If I'm never going to be satisfied why eat it.
