yes. Our bodies are not always good at knowing when we NEED to eat. This is why people with eating disorders do not constantly feel hungry. Our bodies are easily trained to go on very little food, which can be a very dangerous things. Eat ALL of your calories.

I think it can. Your body adapts to not having enough food, your metabolism has slowed down to match your calorie intake, therefore it isn't asking for more, just dealing with what you give it. Just my two cents worth
