The activity makes a big difference for me though. Running for example tends to not have a major impact on appetite.. sometimes I feel like it actually lowers my desire to eat. That's based on relatively short runs though (45-90 mins of activity). I don't know how I'd feel after a marathon.
If I ride a bike for 3 hours, I feel like I could eat a horse.
This matches my experience. Swimming or biking makes me hungry. Running a reasonably long distance (say, 7+ miles) makes me a slightly nauseous and not hungry at all. Maybe it's because running causes more jostling and/or beats up non-muscle parts of the body more?
