After run- weak, starving

[harwinm]

Hi all. I play tennis at least twice a week (pretty high 4.0 usta level), and attempt running (Run/walk mix). Anyway, after a 3.79 mile run/walk, I got home, and was a little hungry. I ate what I thought would be a pretty filling fritatta at like 8:30am (Had woken up hungry), and then ran at 9something, got home 10:30, by 12, I was starving and weak. This is my 17th day on whole 30, and for the most part breakfast has lasted me until 1 or 2 or 3pm. I don't know if it was a harder workout than usual or what, but anyone know what might be going on? I was sitting outside too for a while, not sure if that played a role. Finally got food around 12:30/1. I got my mom to bring me some, I didn't have the energy to make myself something, or get it myself. We didn't have much in the house. I just have really not felt overly hungry or deprived until right now, and wondering what might be the cause. Still feeling a little weak. Dehydration maybe? Anyway, if anyone has advice about this it would be much appreciated! !

The whole30 recommendation is to eat lean protein and starchy vegetables after your workout. Did you do that?

 

Here is the meal template. The bottom part of the sheet is all about pre- and post- workout nutrition: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf

Did you have a preWO meal before your run/walk? Are you incorporating pre & post WO meals with your tennis/running?

It's difficult to pinpoint where your problem might be without a more detailed food/liquid/activity log, so if you'd like to post a few days worth of this indicating portion sizes in relation to the plam of your hand we can maybe help you troubleshoot.
