In the past two or three weeks, I've noticed a drastic increase in my calorie intake... I don't weigh and measure my food, but I can estimate the change to be about 3000 -> 4000 calories per day. Around the time this appetite increase happened, the following things were occurring:
- I switched from nuts to nut butters.
- I began to use some olive oil instead of so many nuts.
- I cut back my heavy lifting volume some and dropped most Tabata intervals for an increase in sprint intervals and short MetCons.
- I changed from an odd 4-1-1-1 workout schedule to a 5-2 schedule.
- I continued Paleo/IF/cyclic carb (30-45g per day, refeeding every fifth day, more out of a psychological need than a physiological need).
I haven't noticed any changes in performance, body weight, or body composition... It's just an outrageously ravenous appetite once I break the fast. Last night, my eating window was interrupted by work, limiting my calories, and today I was so hungry I had to break the fast three hours early. It's just a really big change to happen so suddenly. Could anyone please help explain it?
