For me:
If it comes from exercise and I can eat what feels like enough, I don't notice. Like, literally lost 30lb when I started Jazzercise after having my last kid and had no idea, thought I'd just 'toned up' and was confused I needed new clothes, I was underweight by the time I realized, because I was not eating enough to fund the workouts. Appetite did not adjust.
If it comes from diet or fasting, I feel fine in the daytime but it is a migraine trigger. I feel so good going to bed kinda hungry but it makes wake up feeling crappy and also messes up my sleep.
If it comes from anxiety or emotional upset, well, it feels better than eating (I get stress anorexia definitely cannot eat when upset).
My husband said bulking, gaining weight and working out, was the best he has ever felt, physically.
