For the last 8 months, I have been working out a LOT. I incorporate it into my daily routine and has just become habitual. Every single morning and every night before I go to sleep I have a set workout regimen:
Morning:
60 pushups, with legs propped high
3 sets of dumb bell curls (25lb weights)
120 sit ups (either on the exercise ball or on the crunch ab roller)
Before Bed:
60 push ups (feet on ground)
120 sit ups (alternating from morning sit up routine)
Shoulder presses with dumb bells (30lb weights)
On top of these regular morning and evening routines, I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I spend 25 minutes doing cardio on the elliptical. Then I spend 30-40 minutes lifting weights in different groups (chest/tris one day, biceps/back another day, shoulders/legs)
I don’t think I over exert myself with the weights, I just like to do several reps with a moderately challenging weight.
I am 5′9″, 148lbs. I am pretty toned I suppose, but my issue is that I have a huge appetite now. I can’t satisfy it no matter what. I’ve tried eating 6 balanced meals a day, I’ve tried eating a big breakfast. Nothing. I treat almost every lunch and dinner like an all you can eat buffett. I have become an eating machine. I suppose it is okay for now when I am working out a lot, but when I stop working out, am I going to get fat??
I’ve tried eating a lot of protein rich foods, meats, whole grain wheat, fruits, vegetables. I don’t have a sweet tooth, and I try to eat healthy, low fat foods. but it takes a considerable amount of food to keep me full. Sometimes I will eat 2-3 large portioned dinners.
Is this healthy?

your eating too supply your energy demands. Listen too your body.
Continue eating natural. Its the processed garbage that makes people fat.
It’s is totally normal, you are using a lot of energy so your body is asking more energy. Simple recommendation, try drinking Whey Protein . Protein can either come in powder or pill ( I recommend powder) and it comes in different flavors. You can mix it into a milkshake with fruits like berries, bananas, apples and it tastes really good with Vanilla Protein. It will help your muscles re build faster and gain mass.
