Well, if you're hungry and thirsty then you need to eat and drink more. Possibly eating smaller, more frequent meals would help. I would guess the lunch meat cravings mean you need more protein and/or more salt.
This is assuming no underlying healthy problems, e.g., thyroid or diabetes problems.
Also, some people cut back on their "daily living" activity level when they ramp up their exercise, either because they're more tired or they don't have time or they just don't think it's necessary. I'm talking about things like taking stairs instead of elevators, parking farther away from a store vs in a parking spot right next to the door, driving to run errands instead of walking. The result is that the overall daily caloric expenditure can actually decrease even though the amount of time exercising has increased.
