Why do i crave sugar (candy) after workouts?

[nietzsche247]

about 2 hours my workouts i seriously crave sugar (candy).. I don’t want to eat it but i crave it bad.. Is it an imbalance of some sort or is it all physiological?

Likely because your muscles are glycogen-starved. Are you having a post-workout shake with adequate carbs following your workout??

yea i thought of that to.. Been getting all my carbs in.. I solved the problem by eating oranges. It seemed to do the trick. thanks though.

chromium picolinate should stop the sugar cravings

post workout your body needs simple sugars. hence why you crave them. also if your cutting that should be just about the only time you eat fruit.

I notice the same thing about myself... except I crave EVERYTHING, not just sugars... I want to eat everything in sight after I workout.
