One of the cruel aspects of endurance sports is that they suppress your appetite. You can go out and burn 6000 calories in one race, spend the whole time thinking about all the delicious food you're going to reward yourself with, and then you get there and have zero desire to eat. You sometimes can't even start refeeding until the next day.

Feels to me like pushing your body to extremes is akin to a metabolic shock and your system rebooting in another operating mode. Probably needs another reboot to go into regular mode, so your apetite will also vary in the meantime
