Depending on your current size, 500 calories really isn't that much if you are doing something you enjoy. OTOH, exercise often makes you feel hungrier, so if you aren't simultaneously watching that, then it doesn't help.
Is it odd that exercise makes me less hungry? When I work out in the morning (30-45 minutes on my elliptical machine) before breakfast, I have no particular desire to eat. If I skip breakfast, I don't really get hungry until lunchtime. On days when I don't work out and try to skip breakfast, I end up struggling to think about anything other than food all morning.
For me, it depends on the activity. Also, pre-intense exercise means I don't want to eat a ton either.
Paradoxically, I find exercise makes me eat less, as long as what I’m eating isn’t just sugar.
