swimming + food

[Andr3w]

Does swimming make anybody else really hungry?

I have a big roast beef dinner, then tonight went swimming. Did 30 minutes constant swimming then hunger kicked it, i had to stop at the fish shop on the way home for a chip butty

This never happens when at the gym? So what is it with swimming, is there something in the clorine that makes you want to buy a snack from the swimming place?

idd, they put appetite-enhancers in the water so that you buy overly-priced food from them and they make more money

Its probably low blood sugar/glycogen stores. Same reason you can eat before going out drinking, sink several thousand beer calories and still require a kebab on the way home!

Lifting in the gym it can be difficult to completely use all the available glycogen because you use short bursts of effort with relatively long rest periods.
