Everyone’s different, but I can go a while without food and not have it bother me. It’s not uncommon to go a day without it and not really notice. I hear people talking about getting “hangry” but I don’t personally relate to the that feeling at all. I don’t even know what that’s like, or how common it is to feel that way. If anything, I just get tired.


I've noticed that I get worse hunger if I eat more often, especially if I just eat bread to postpone the hunger. For some reason, the hunger I feel when on a lower-carb diet is much less pressing, and can be easily ignored for quite a while.

Carbs are also addictive to me: I sometimes notice that I want to eat even when I know I'm not hungry, so I have to make sure I don't make snacks too available.

Most days, I just eat once because it's an easy rule to stick to. I might have a snack if I've taxed my brain and feel like I need the extra fuel, but usually one meal is plenty.


I wonder if feeling hangry is correlated with blood sugar level crashes when eating carb-heavy meals.
