3 poached eggs
1 tin cannelini beans
1 scotch egg
1 large portion of homemade chilli
5 small chicken portions
and i am still hungry.
Have a pie.
Pies fix most hunger related issues IME.
If your hungry, eat. get some Fibre in you.
Yup always.
You probably need a few carbs.......
Yer, that's normal.
Part of it is down to the afterburn effect.
Have a read. Really interesting. Burning calories for free.

Feeling hungry isn't a problem 🙂
Thirst often masquerades as hunger. Get a few pints of water down your neck.

FTFY
72 hours riding is some going, no wonder you're hungry. That's pretty much all protein, you need some carbs, porridge is about as filling as it gets.

Ignore it, drink water and black coffee and bank some decent weight loss!

Yep as above
Yup normal for a long rideout.
If its any help I'm still hungry on Tuesdays after killing it at the weekend. I find drinking lots of water and eating good quality pasta helps a great deal.
All you've done is deplete the protein store and the carbs have been munched too. All your body is doing is trying to replenish those stores that you've delved into.
Did you have a decent protein drink after each leg of your journey ( I doubt you did, beer probably 😆 ) I find that after a ride these days I need a protein drink to help recover, they're not bad these days, bit expensive mind but then you have just completed a decent journey.
Don't eat rubbish, try to steer clear of crisps n chocs.
Bask in the glory of a rumbling tum.
water drink plety of
You [i]could[/i] drink water and properly slake the appetite. OTOH, you might follow my post-ride example and demolish all the milk chocolate not eaten at Christmas. 😕
water water water. not just today but everyday. coffee is not water, fizzy pop is not water, even diluted cordial is not water. There is no substitute for water.

even better ice cold water, with crushed ice now that does fill you up
God, my optic nerves started hurting just reading that 😯
