Fruit.. Does it make anyone else hungry like 10 mins later??

I believe I have developed some sort of sugar imbalance issue over the past couple of years so it sort of makes sense why eating an apple for a snack causes me to have to eat an entire meal 10 mins later.. just wondering if anyone else deals with this problem?

Are you really hungry or just bored when you eat after some fruit?1

Not when I add some pb2 and mini chocolate chips for a few extra calories. I think I'm just more mentally satisfied, though.0

An apple is like 90 calories of sugar with a little fiber. If you were in the process of getting hungry for your next meal, that's not going to cut it. It has nothing to do with a sugar imbalance. Less than 100 calories with no fat or protein is just not filling for most people!7

Hmm makes sense! Yes I felt full by the apple when I was finished but i was STARVING 10 mins later..so annoying. My husband is hypoglycemic and if he has fruit it makes him 10x hungrier because of all of the sugar in the fruit. He's the same with dessert, if he has a full meal and a piece of pie, he'll be hungry less than an hour later. Sounds like i could be developing the same kind of thing? Also i just started "dieting" and my stomach is still in the process of shrinking so maybe this will happen for a little while?1

If it makes you feel crap, don't eat it.
But it probably is more in your mind than anything, plus what Kimny says - there just isn't enough in an apple to satisfy you for long.
It's like having an appetiser - your body is in eager anticipation of what's coming next! Especially since you're new to this.3 -
It's why I eat my fruits before the bulk of my meal, my huge salads being an exception. I know I'm going to be hungry after eating the fruit, so I just have more food after. I've also tried pairing fruit with the "go-to" items like PB/nut butter or cheese. Nope, hungry in about 10 minutes.2

I find fruit to be filling. Especially apples.
When it comes to satiety, people are different.2 -
Apples in particular do make me feel more hungry than if I hadn't bothered.0
-
Can you explain your "sugar imbalance" to me?0

They do this to me,too0 -

Interesting. Apples are my go-to for satiety.
OP, I feel hungry after eating certain fruits but not others. While bananas and apples do wonders for my satiety, strawberries (most berries, really) and clementines do nothing for me. That's why I consume my "hungry fruits" only as a part of a larger satiating meal or whenever I want them while not particularly hungry.
If you suspect you are diabetic or pre diabetic, a visit to the doctor is in order. Don't decide you have it without an official diagnosis, and if you do, you will need to take medically approved actions to manage it.3 -
i don't snack on fruit as i don't find it filling, i will usually have it as part of a meal, but, with the exception of bananas i would never expect fruit to keep me going at all.2
-
Yes, I had this for years ... but after recently being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, within 24 hours of being put on Metformin (medication) this weird hunger reaction stopped. May be wise to take a visit to your GP and check your sugar levels; I perform much better (physically, mentally and emotionally) now I've dropped the carbs to a low count and eat more protein and fibre!3
-
Not me, I find fruit filling, but yeah lots of people don't find it filling at all and some say it makes them extra hungry (although I suspect that's more being hungry anyway and it not being filling for them). On the other hand, I mostly don't snack, since snacking just makes me think about eating more and if I don't do it I am not hungry between meals. (I like fruit and eat it at some meals and occasionally right after as dessert.)
Anyway, what foods are filling differs person to person, so not finding fruit satiating is normal and doesn't mean you have a sugar imbalance, whatever that is. Just eat other stuff.0 -

This.
I was diagnosed by my doctor as being a prediabetic a few years back and I had no symptoms at all. I didn't feel weird after eating certain foods etc. Only reason I found out was I had some unexpected blood work to check for something else and the hospital ran a full blood test panel, which picked up a really high glucose number. Otherwise I wouldn't have even known. Something like only 10% find out they have prediabetes before it progresses to type 2.
OP-being hungry after eating certain foods isn't a symptom and it sounds like you're just eating foods that have a low satiety level for you. If eating fruit makes you feel more hungry then don't eat it by itself and pair it with a meal. Problem solved

Same here but it's totally fine if I have something with protein and fat with it.0

Fruit digests relatively quickly. I prefer to eat them with a balanced meal (but I'm not a snacker though).
For example my breakfast later this morning will start off with an pear. Then I will make my blueberry waffle and eat a hard boiled egg.
This will keep me full/satiated for about 5 hours, whereas just a piece of fruit would only last about 15 minutes if that.3 -
Apples are my go-to for staving off hunger. However, most of the times I am tired, bored or stressed, and then I think I am hungry when I am not. I usually will drink about 8-16 oz of water and then wait another 15-20 minutes to see if I am really hungry. Usually I am not hungry...just a mental thing.0
-
I wouldn't expect my snack to keep me full as long as one of my main meals would/should. A snack is a snack. So maybe have a look at the rest of your day and the timings in between. Having said that fruit isn't for everyone in the first place, so maybe try other things.1

I just Googled it. Most of the answers are that it's high in sugar and therefore doesn't fill you up and can trigger hunger.
I have no idea if that's true.1 -

Same here. Fruit can carry me over for hours at a time. Love the stuff and how it fills me up.0 -
I'm another who finds fruit is not filling and tends to stimulate my appetite. I do have perdiabetes (sugar imbalance?) so my blood glucose tends to swing more widely than in healthy people.2

But that can't be true. That idea only works with foods like pasta, bread, rice, and "junk" food. Don't you know that magical properties of fibre cancel out the sugar-induced hungries?

I don't know why, but when I eat fruit by itself, I get a belly ache. The only exception is bananas...0

You can't just google something like that. Reaction to foods/satiety is individual. That some find apples filling (like me) or not (like OP) doesn't say a thing about whether they are inherently so -- they aren't inherently filling or not, period.
Here's a really good discussion of satiety and the different factors that go into it, as well as how various diets affect it when things like palatability are controlled (although in the real world they are not): https://examine.com/nutrition/high-carb-high-satiety/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=blogpost-121516&utm_medium=insiders
I like this bit:
"What can influence the satiety of a meal?
A wide range of factors can influence satiety. Palatability, the volume of food consumed, caloric density, amount and type of fiber, and whether the food is delivered as a liquid or solid can all play a role."4 -

Notice what word isn't in there?1 -

Yeah- I'm not agreeing with it!0 -

Thanks - interesting. Google did bring up quite a few articles besides the quack ones - I was just giving what seemed to be the overall one sentence response to a question which, judging from the search results,seems to be a frequent one0 -
Ps knew I'd get jumped on though - guess I asked for it
