Since you started going to the gym, your carb cravings are probably your bodies way of telling you needs more food as FUEL, in order to support your increased activity. Just my thought.. :)

You definitely need to eat more often! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur. www.nme-pro.com

Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2004/09/29, 01:36 AM Bread IS carbs. :) Post training is the very best moment to eat fast carbs (so if you still feel like eating something "bad" then do it there!) What did you eat before training? -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur. www.nme-pro.com
