Hi!
This happened yesterday:
-
I did a new tough workout, activating many muscles I've never really worked out before.
-
I had a full lunch. And sandwiches. And then some more.
-
I slept for 3 hours.
-
Two hours later, I ate a full dinner. And sandwiches. And then some more.
Now that was very unusual behavior for me, both the sleeping and the massive eating, so I think the new workout is what caused this. I've seen images / threads of "bulking gone wrong" when a person gets muscle, but also get equal amounts (or even more) fat. That's obviously something I want to avoid.
So, when I get unusually hungry after a tough workout, is that a signal for me to eat more protein and just more protein (as opposed to eating "normal" meals with both protein and carbs etc)?

Increase your fiber intake. Take longer to chew your food. Drink more water.
There is an obsession with protein in bodybuilding that is almost entirely hype and bro science, but supplement sellers are more than happy to feed into the misinformation. Too much protein will definitely make you fat, so be careful about that.
