Title: Foooooood.
Post by: Andrew on April 18, 2008, 07:36:58 AM
Those of you on T: do you eat more now?

I've been on T for nearly two years and my food consumption has gone through the roof. I could eat all day and night. (It helps that I'm skinny!) Maybe it's just because I'm physically bigger now, but it seems like I'm eating all the time. Anyway, I have to go get breakfast at the dining hall. Mmmmm, bacon.

I haven't noticed an increase in my actual food intake, but have noticed that my hunger pains are FAR more severe than they used to be. Before, if I was hungry it was just an irritating growl or something, but now...it feels like I'm wasting away and DYING of starvation. heh.

I didn't notice an increase overall, just in craving more protein. It's hard to make myself eat my veggies some days.

T boosts metabolism (compared to estrogen),
but its mostly because of increased muscle mass that your metabolism
will increase.

I can eat 2500-3000 calories per day without gaining weight,
that's a lot of food.
My mother eats 1000 less to keep her weight stable.
