When do YOU get hungry?

Goose8877

I need a snack about an hour or 2 after breakfast and i usually fix that by eating an apple or banana. For lunch (since the diet) I'll have something like another piece of fruit or some oatmeal. I often have to force myself to eat something in the morning because it will mess with my metabolism if I don't get it going. If I wake up super late I get hungry as soon as I wake up but I'm on thyroid meds so I have to take that first and wait before I can eat or the meds don't work. I am trying to snack during the day so i don't get super hungry and then have a healthy dinner around 5.

My problem: I eat like CRAZY at night.

My solution?: I tried last night to just drink water but that didn't seem to kick it so i had a small portion of chips (a small hand-full) and drank more water. That helped a lot.

I always get hungry 1-2 hours after dinner. Some night I cave in and eat a fruit or make myself a PB sammich. I hardly feel hungry any other time of the day unless if I'm on my ladies day then I'm hungry all the time. OR when I workout late in the evening, I get really ravenous the next morning.

I usually just eat when I'm hungry,but my pattern goes something like this:

10-11 am breakfast
1-2 pm snack
2-4 pm lunch
8-10 pm dinner

It really just depends on what I ate and how busy I've been.

The real question is: When are you NOT hungry???

I'm always hungry, but now that I'm on a normal work schedule I'm settling on:

5AM breakfast/coffee (if I don't bike to the train station)
830AM snack/coffee (or breakfast if I didn't eat at 5)
12Noon lunch
4PM dinner
6PM glass of wine

Before breakfast, around 4-5PM and around 9PM.

So not really at meal times. Annoying.

I have no general time. Sometimes I don't eat dinner...even if I'm not fasting that day. Many times I don't eat breakfast. Sometimes I'm hungry late night. Other times around 3-4 pm in the afternoon.

I'm consistently inconsistent. I log my food everyday, but I can't guarantee that the food marked "lunch" doesn't actually fall into the "dinner range" and the dinner may or may not happen at midnight. Or not at all...lol.

I'm rarely hungry until the evening. That's when I usually relax and actually enjoy eating.
In the morning, it's a good hour or two before I can contemplate anything other than coffee. Even by lunchtime I'm not usually hungry. Lunch is usually eaten either at my desk whilst working, so I don't enjoy it and don't want to eat much. A cup-a-soup will do me in that situation. If lunch is eaten with other people in work, I'm funny about people seeing me eat so I don't eat much then, either. Probably just a sandwich.
Dinner is the best meal of my day. I'm out of work, I'll have chilled out and my tummy will finally start to rumble. I can relax with my other half (who's usually cooked the dinner for us, which makes it taste better!) and really enjoy what I'm having.

Workdays im ALWAYS hungry, constantly watching the clock for food time! I stick to my schedule though and I work 20km away from any food sources so I eat what I pack.

6am breakfast
9am second breakfast
12pm lunch
3-4pm snack
6pm knock off YAY & 7pm work out
8pm dinner - least hungry after a work out and can generally be satisfied with a protien shake for dinner.

when Im on break though I eat alot less..

8-9am breakfast
12pm lunch
snack some time in the afternoon depending on what i'm up to
same goes with dinner... i work out twice daily on days off (generally a gym class and a half hour run)
im hardly ever thinking of food as im keeping busy with things i enjoy.

when im on dreaded NIGHT SHIFT though I normally eat eeeeeverything iv packed for lunch before midnight and then dont eat until I get home at 7am. boredom strikes i think..

not hungry first thing in the morning, it usually hits me about 1-2 hrs after im up. then again around 10:30 ish... then not till about 7.

regardless of what time it is, every time I finish at the gym, I find myself ravenously searching for food!

It is so interesting how everyone is different! I'm not hungry at night, unless I stay up late. I think this is partly a mental thing, too...

Also, I eat more when I don't work out (also another mental thing!).

The mind is a very powerful thing!

Im the same as you I eat more when I don't workout. And right around 2:30-3:30 I'm starving I think its just being board!!

I do a workout from 8pm up til 10pm.... I would say about 2 or 3 hours after....so 12/1am I am hungry.....get out of bed and normally make some hot porridge ....this should stop if I add a whey shake after workout
