> exercise suppresses my appetite to some extent

This is my experience as well. I also had a trainer confirm this.

I used to eat before and after a workout because I bought into the idea of the body needing fuel to power the workout and fuel to recover. I ended up eating when I wasn’t hungry and feeling heavy or sluggish.

She said the appetite suppression after a workout could last 30-120min and to only eat when I felt hungry. I felt much better after adjusting my eating habits.

I feel like from reading through this thread is that everyone has a body that manages hunger and metabolism differently.

Pretty sure this is the same for me, I don't eat before the gym in the morning and if anything feel slightly less like eating after.
