Hungry like a wolf in the morning.

When I wake up in the morning, I'm SO hungry. I try to eats lots of protein like greek yogurt and almonds or boiled eggs, but I still wake up with my stomach growling. Does this happen to anyone else? Could I be a little hyperglycemic in the morning?

Maybe a little dehydrated too? Trying drinking a big glass of water too.

Could it be because you are part wolf?

I would think eating something complex and a little heavier before bed would help a lot. Maybe a small cup of steel cut oats or something. It could be you're dessert and help you fall asleep easier.

I would say that if you're satisfied when you go to bed, and you're not waking up in the middle of the night starving, then all is well.

I'm always hungry in the morning. You are supposed to be. You just fasted for 8-10 hours. So eat up!

I am so surprised at all the people who don't eat breakfast! I EAT like a wolf in the morning! lol I can get up to 500 cal for breakfast, gets my day going right. I think that if you are not going to bed with your stomach growling and you are not waking up in the middle of the night from hunger it is just a sign of a nice fast metabolism I love my breakfasts, it is my favorite, and biggest, meal of the day ( I have read that is a healthy thing)

Unless it's waking you up in the middle of the night, you should be fine (just try to make good choices when you are feeling insatiable). Some people wake up around 3 am or experience lower quality of sleep because of a natural blood sugar drop in the night. If it is affecting your sleep quality have some protein and complex carbs before bed (maybe some peanut butter). My boyfriend experiences this so he supplements his protein in the evening (after work) with a "time-released" protein powder (He uses Allmax - Hexapro) .

Try eating some casien protein. If you are against supplementing with shakes then get it from milk. It is a slower digesting protein that might help you.

I used to not be a breakfast person at ALL. I hated the thought of eating when I woke up. When I was in high school and most of college, I never ate anything until lunch and wasn't ever hungry before then.

Now (at 25), I eat biiiig breakfasts. I COULD eat as soon as I get up, but for time's sake, I usually wait until I'm partially ready for work or sometimes on the way to work. As a matter of fact, my breakfast today (overnight oats with peanut butter, banana, and raisins) was higher calorie than my dinner, and pretty comparable in protein. It pretty much just makes me feel better for the entire day.

So, I wake up starving, too. Makes sense, since I've usually gone about 10 hours without eating. Imagine doing that between noon and 10p.m.... makes me irritable just thinking about it. I doubt it's anything to worry about medically, especially not if you've changed your activity level lately. Your body just needs more fuel.

Try listening to music in the morning, maybe some Duran Duran will help.

I think like everyone said ..its normal..if your not going to be hungry and not waking up in the middle of the night there isnt aproble..its normal. I am a huge fan of breakfast and try my best to eat no longer than an hour after I wake.. and I do tend to eat bigger breakfast than any other meal.
