Well + Good—March 15, 2017
Well + Good reporter Lisa Held writes on five reasons why running may work up your appetite.
She speaks with Jason Machowsky RD, CSSD, RCEP, CSCS, who notes that calorie burn plays a role.

He recommends eating right after a run. "Try to plan a meal within a few hours of training, so you don’t finish your run feeling ravenously hungry," says Jason.
