Most exercise studies that have measured food intake have found that exercise does not increase appetite.
Nineteen ( 19 ) percent of exercise studies that have measured food intake have found an increase in appetite, 64 percent found no effect and 16 percent found a reduction in appetite according to recent review paper.

Larry,
I have heard that the intensity of the exercise, as well as the type (cardio vs. strength training) has an impact on appetite. Did this study mention anything relating to that?

Nicole,
No, they did not talk about intensity or type of exercise.
I thought that strength training was better for weight loss than cardio, but I read a study in the past couple months which found that strength training did not cause much weight loss.
I'll try to find it and post it.
