How can you eat candy after going to the gym? This isn't meant to 'food shame' you or anything. I'm actually curious. Usually after I've worked out I only want water or fruit. Sometimes I want something like Mc Donalds, but that's only if I work out when I haven't eaten all day, and I only buy something small off the value menu. Craving something salty after a workout seems kind of natural... I know "intuitive eating" is usually an excuse for fatties to eat whatever they want, but I notice my cravings tie in with what's happening with my body or what I haven't been eating enough of at any  58cd   given time.
