Yes if you feel like you can chomp down more protein then usual that's your body's subtle cues that it wants it. Yeh its really hard to recover, basically impossible when appetite is poor or all over to place. Especially if appetite for proteins are low which is often due to weak digestive secretions, low salt intake and dehydration.Wow I think you may be right. This is like extreme hunger. I felt like I could eat 50 grams of protein easily. But I don't give in to it or don't cook enough meat. I need to just let go and eat what my body is asking for. Although it definitely wasn't asking for it yesterday I had a lot of bloating and felt sick to my stomach most of the day. It was only after the niacin I felt starving. I think I need to go with it, use vitamins to boost appetite for protein so I can fully recover. I had been undereating most of the yr due to stress.
The benefit of the protein hunger is you don't have to worry about gaining excess body fat as protein is not really turned into body fat. If the body craves protein, its going to put it to good use.
