I was wondering if anyone else has this problem when they come back from an extended trip: after I get home, I feel like I'm starving all the time.

I know it's a function of the tremendous amounts of calories we burn backpacking, and the large amounts we eat to counteract that on the trail. Problem is, when I get back, I find my trail appetite persists for weeks. After my two-week JMT trip 4 1/2 years ago I ballooned from 165 to 210 within the space of three months. I just got back from the High Uintas, and I'm afraid it's going to happen again.
