Hunger after meditation and some ?s

[Mind>Matter]

Hi,
I've started to get really hungry after meditation (30min Breath Awareness).
I did some research online and I found out that it has something to do with energy, i.e. I'm SPENDING energy while meditating. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Can someone explain this to me?
Thank you.

Doing energy work develops your energy body by moving energy through it, kind of like lifting weights to get bigger muscles. It uses energy to give you greater capacity to store energy. This side effect will pass.
I personally never got hungry at first, but I needed to sleep more, until my energy body adapted.

Yeah, I remember the need for sleep, especially after meditation.
I've also noticed that during meditation, I start to get really hot, sweating even. What's that all about?

Tummo fire, I would think.
