  • I get hangry
    I clench my jaws (which causes a headache)
    I feel like I can't keep my eyes open.

    The list goes on...

    I feel spaced out.
    My eyes go all kind of starey and I find it hard to focus.
    My mind becomes foggy.
    I feel tired.
    I find myself biting and picking at my fingers. ( no, I'm not trying to eat them!)
    I feel hungry ish but for some reason don't really fancy anything to eat.
    I feel kind of buzzy.

    So if you don't eat enough, you become a hipster? That's heavy. Keep your intake up, friends don't let friends hipster.

    I can't say I've ever under-eaten, sure when I have a sickness bug where I can't hold anything down, but that's to be expected, and is rare for me- I'd usually eat gingernut biscuits which helped and sleep so wouldn't feel any side effects.. At one point I even had such bad anxiety I couldn't keep anything down. However, I always calmed myself down and ate again. But anyway off topic. I think if I under-ate on purpose or accidentally, I would probably feel quite dizzy, and extremely hungry.
