Hungry all the time. Is this normal?

[drkaje]

Been trying to gain weight with pre-workout shake and two shakes between meals for a while now with mixed results. The past two days I can't stop eating every 2-3 hours. The only change in workouts was adding one more set per exercise so that probably doesn't mean anything.

I'm even getting hungry while eating.

I don't know if it is normal or not, but I kinda have the same thing. I was going along fine with my routine, and now i can't stay away from the halloween candy, and when I am eating, I am already thinking about the next thing I want to eat. I will have dinner, then have an ice cream bar, then a bowl of cereal, and still want somethng else. Oh well, i am still far from fat, so likely just a phase.

I'm just hoping it's a phase and not a sign that my metabolism has gotten even faster.

Solid food and lots of good fat should help with that.

It's probably just a tapeworm.
 


Don't laugh too much.
I've had one.
Not enjoyable, although they're rather uncommon.

[Bluto]

doesnt sound normal. maybe you need to go see a doctor

[drkaje]

I've probably been getting around 5K/day before the eating binge. Two meals before noon is a little troubling and I would have already eaten again if the chicken would bake quicker.

I may end up having oatmeal while waiting for it to finish.

Nuts and oils.  Add them whenever you can.

Been eating stuff like that for snacks between meals and having added AAs with shakes.

I am so dying for bacon right now. Should have wrapped that chicken in bacon.

[Tapeworm]

This sometimes happens to me when I'm eating lots of carbs.  It's like my body becomes accustomed to a certain bloodsugar level, but I usually crave carbs as a result - not something like bacon.

If size is what you want then go with it DrK.  Maybe you'll get some good results.  Keep an eye on fat gain at over 5000 cals/day tho.  I couldn't do that and I've got a better than average metabolism.

[BAZZERKER]

when i get like that usually means im growing in a good way as long as my diet is clean. but i do have my wks were my appetite is down wich bothers me when im trying to size up.

6'2". Metabolism is already pretty fast but I feel a lot better since eating a little more and am not freaking out every few hours. I'm still eating a lot but not as hungry all the time.

drop the EQ 

[upjacked]

I only have one solution

when you're hungry, eat 

your body is asking for it, why deny it?

[tstmaniac]

EAT BIG, lift big, grow big!

[Swedish Viking]

It just means your metabolism is through the roof.  Slow it down and you'll gain weight easier.  Have two low cal days in a row then eat for a couple of days, another low cal day, so on and so forth.  Happens to everyone.

[Get Rowdy]

Happens with me sometimes, I'll be craving weetbix with milo on top all day.
