I think I'm going to hunt down more food...
One long day of exercise never increases my appetite or metabolism, but a week or two sure does. It can take the body a little while to up the metabolism to match the activity, but when it does, watch out! Then you spend the whole day thinking about food, eat a whole meal and want another one in 2 hours, and wake up in the night thinking about food. You feel like an obsessed maniac. After a 2 week hike, I've made people scared. One friend was going to meet me after a hike, and seriously considered just opening the car window and throwing out the food.
