I became a food monster is this normal??

[cobbwheels]

I feel hungry all the time just doing 15 minutes of HIIT per day for two months now that may also include all-out sprint intervals. It has tripled my food intake than before I did any form of exercise. I even do 6 major meals a day at times!

I kept my BMI to 19.8 or just under 20.

So what's happening? Unknown illness? Diabetes? Turning into food monster?

My diet have actually settled in since and back to pre-cycling calorie intake and I've even increased my riding volume / calorie expenditure.

I have lost 10 lbs though since then. I can lose another 5 lbs before I need to raise my calorie intake to avoid getting too underweight. But so far it seems my body became more efficient at managing energy, thus, requiring less food.
