Hit a PR today—240lb for 3 reps on box squats… and I had zero appetite afterwards.
Normally you’d think you’d be starving after a session like that—but not today.
Instead of skipping it, I kept it simple:
- High-protein meal (ground beef + cottage cheese)
- Ate slower than usual
- Focused on getting the protein in, not forcing a huge portion
Appetite didn’t match the output—but recovery still matters.
Hunger isn’t always the signal… fueling is still part of the job.
Anyone else run into this?
