On the subject of nutrition and hunger on workout days versus non-workout days:
Doesn't a lot of that depend on when in the day we workout? I work out in late afternoon or early evenings and my hunger ramps up that night and the next day. By the morning of my next workout day, however, my hunger has subsided.
A lot of folks workout in the wee hours of early morning so it would make sense that they're bodies would be demanding appropriate eats at different times than mornings-are-from-the-devil people like myself.
Which also brings up the point of varying body clocks. Some of us are more active (in our general lifestyle) earlier in the day than others and, I'd think, that that somehow comes into play when combined with varying workout times.
Whatever the case, I've stopped stressing about the exact timing of it all in regards to total calories, other than to make sure I eat when hungry and get in pre- and post-workout goop. My body's much happier now.

Their. I so hate the inability to edit out stupid typos if I don't notice it right away. Argh.
