My boss is also into cycling and we have lots of great "corridor" chats about cycling. Recently I remarked that my appetite (when in full training mode) was huge. He told me that during his training season (flat rides of 100km or so, which he assures me are ridden hard) he is getting progressively less hungry.
He's convinced that his body is adapting, and that fat is being used to fuel his system. I explained that the body uses different fuel systems depending on the intensity...but he said that when he returns from long rides, he is finding that he is less and less hungry each time.
Any thoughts on what might be going on? I know that for me...I'm f*cking starving after a big ride.
