That's the case for me and I think most people. I really have to force myself to eat immediately after a ride. But if I do that, and replenish my glycogen stores right away, then I DON'T get the bout of ravenousness 3-4 hours later.

If I don't replenish immediately after a long ride (7+ hours), I'm ravenous and physically depleted for literally days afterward. It's amazing how many calories I can actually avoid, just by choking down a couple of Clif bars when the last thing I want to do is eat
