When I'd do distance running training, anywhere from 30-50 miles a week, my appetite didn't necessarily increase/ decrease. When I switched over to cycling, anywhere from 150-250 miles a week, my appetite went through the roof, and I just inhale food constantly. As an aside, I found my tastebuds get extremely, extremely sensitive right after a spirited bike ride. Sometimes things I thought that tasted pretty good suddenly had certain flavor profiles ultra amplified and overpowering. Other times, food & drink that tasted weird would become absolutely delicious. But even an hour later, after satiating the post-bike-ride appetite, that very same food or drink could taste significantly different. Like Sierra Nevada's Hazy Little Thing IPA, man, it can taste like 2 vastly different beers. Doesn't make me wanna become a foodie per se but it does make me think that my body craves and rewards me for eating after a spirited ride.
