That's normal. When you're working out you have a period where your muscles immediately try to fix themselves and replenish strength and then you have an ongoing healing for a couple days. It's important you give them what they want to rebuild. Protein.
Probably why you crave steak and such. Studies I've seen show that eating right after lifting is necessary, and that there is no real impact after cardio. I've heard that you aren't supposed to eat for an hour after cardio, but the evidence I've seen says otherwise. So go ahead and eat.
