    It's hormonal

    "Ghrelin, the main hunger-control hormone, is released in a pulsatile manner through the night with a peak occurring upon waking, which incites hunger."

    Too many carbs, eat more protein/fat.

    Yup, you're eating too many carbs.
    "If you wake up hungry, or suffer from strong hunger pangs during the day, you are probably overconsuming carbohydrates and causing panic insulin swings. Where your body demands more carbs to regulate the already high levels of insulin in the blood."

    Exactly -- it's an insulin swing
