This has kind of been bugging me... Why am I so hungry at dinner? I'm not this hungry at breakfast or lunch... This is a typical meal for me for lunch and breakfast.
Breakfast:
-eggs
-yogurt
-apple

Lunch:
-salad or sandwich

I'm normally fine throughout the day then when dinner hits, I'm super hungry. Any idea why? Thanks!

    Not enough protein, fats & fiber during the day? Not enough calories early in the day? Mental thing? Could be a number of things. I usually need an afternoon snack. I eat lunch at noon and usually have dinner around 8 or 9.

    Your typical breakfast/lunch isn't a huge amount of calories - you're going to end up hungry. A lot of us have grown up having our biggest meal at dinnertime so it's a natural reaction.

    OP, that's just specific to your case. I don't need many calories or type of macro from waking up to 7pm (only 400 cal from coffee, nuts, eggs, drinks) and yet still take my time with dinner.

    That's why it feels quite easy for me to drop pounds.

    I suggest that if you don't feel so hungry at breakfast and lunch time, save some of the food for afternoon snack.

    One of the uniqueness about my foods is I use very little salt, much less sugar. No soda.

    'salad or sandwich' is extremely vague.
