Hunger

Something I've noticed in years past, and already noticing this year is that by paying close attention to hunger I can manipulate appearance for the better. By that, I mean that in cases such as currently where I'm eating clean and with moderate caloric intake - but then note being ravenously hungry on certain days - it is actually beneficial to eat a bit more food on those days. In the past, and so far this year, this has occurred on workout days, particularly where 2-3 consecutive days' workouts have occurred - or the day after my 3rd workout.

In every case where I have noticed this pattern emerging, I've looked better (fuller, harder, and leaner) in the days following such an increase in caloric intake.
