Hi guys, Sorry if there's already a thread about that. I'm new here.
My problem is that 30 minutes after a post-training meal I feel hungry.
I usally eat chicken or fish with veggies & rice. Sometimes quinoah.
I was wondering if it's normal and if I should add a protein shake to that?
I train in muay thai.
Thanks.
Sorry about the noob question.

Drink more water before hand , ..... then have your post workout meal.
Studies show people mistake thirst with hunger.

Water and discipline that's all you need.
I drink about 4 liters of water a day and rarely feel hungry and when I do that's when discipline kicks in.

Imopssible to answer your question without knowing more about the situation.
How many calories are you eating a day? How tall are you, how much do you weigh? When are you eating your meals throughout the day? What is your post-workout meal? How much water per day are you drinking?
It's possible that you're not eating enough.
It's possible that you're not drinking enough water.
It's possible that you've subconciously developed a bad routine that needs to be broken and is going to take 7-10 days of "struggle" to break.

Have a post-workout smoothie right after training, then a good meal of chicken/fish, veggies, quinoa, within an hour or so.

Are you cutting? if not, eat more. Chicken and rice. What is that, like 500 calories? Your body got some food in it, and it was pissed that it was not nearly enough to recoup all the energy loss so it is telling you it wants more.

Good advice. I went through a similar struggle when I upped my exercise/weight program. For me it was more water and I needed even more protein. Glad the water's working for you!

I am just echoing some previous posters but will say it in support of their advice.
Drink water, and plenty of it (I always put lemon in it).

i tend to eat small but every 30 minutes anyways. i rarely eat "big meals". grazing is the way to go.
