    I'm the same way. I don't have any issues with my blood sugar but I do have issues with my blood pressure, kidneys, and iron deficient(not sure if any of this plays a roll). Honestly I just make sure I eat first thing and I feel fine. But if I don't I feel physically ill, like weak and want to throw up.

    This is exactly me! I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I know my iron is fine cause gave blood not too long ago but I dont remember if they check blood sugar (don't think so). Anyways, I just need to get a check up.

    Yea I've never really thought it to be a big deal but maybe I should ask my doctor about it as well!

    Its not that uncommon, especially if you have a smallish dinner fairly early in the evening. how long is it from your last meal? Do you get around 20-30gm of protein in your dinner/last meal? What and when you eat last does effect morning hunger.

    The cottage cheese works because the casein in it is a slow burn protein - you could do a casein shake/smoothie as your PM snack if you don't like cottage cheese.

    Everyone is a little different ...My mother wants a HUGE breakfast every day ... Me, not so much ... I prefer a cup of coffee and a protein bar.

    I have heard some profess the whole "Eat like a King at breakfast, a Prince at lunch and a Pauper at dinner" ideal too. Others say light breakfast and light dinner with most calories at lunch. Me, I like a big dinner because I won't be eating for 12 or more hours when all is said and done. Listen to your body and see which version of life works for you... after all, this is a lifelong process ... no reason to be miserable all the time if you can help it ... Misery doesn't breed sustainability.

    I find that if I eat something starchy late in the evening, I am very hungry in the morning. If it is a higher protein dinner, I am not hungry until 10am. My body time to eat is normally 10am.

    wth, if you THINK everyone is different, then you do not know. if you do not know then you are not qualified to answer. this isn't a hunch people are asking for. they want a definitive answer. they want the truth.

    Everyone has a different metabolism and is hungry at different times of day. I am healthy (get regular physicals and Dr. says all is fine, no blood sugar problems) but I am pretty petite, (weigh between 90 - 95 lb.) and when I wake up I am HUNGRY and must eat something or I will start feeling sick after 1 - 2 hours. So I don't think this is abnormal, still it's a good idea to get your blood sugar checked and make sure it's not low.

    Answer to this is somewhat of a logical one. Depending on when you had your last meal before you went to sleep it is safe to say that you gone on a fasted state even during your sleep for a long time. If you last had your meal at 9pm then you wake up at 9am then do the math and thats how many hours you went without eating a single calorie. This could be one of the reasons other than the obvious physiological ones.
