Hungry, but nothing is appetizing.

So, I'm super hungry. Haven't eaten anything but a few baby carrots and a bowl of cearal all day. But, absolutely NOTHING sounds even remotely appetizing. My appetite has been this way for a while now. I used to get like this every few weeks, but recently it's been most days. I don't know what to do. I need to eat, but even the thought of eating some things makes me want to barf. Just not sure what to eat in these cases. Had a friend tell me I needed to eat something that has a carb, a fat, and a protein in it. That doesn't help. Nothing is appetizing. So, making me choose three things now is even more impossible. Does anyone else experience this extreme hunger without being able to pick anything to eat? Had a different friend bail on my tonight because we couldn't pick a place to eat.

    I do. But, even that doesn't sound like something I want.

    If you really feel that way, you should make an appointment with your doctor because that is not normal. Are you interested in eating some fruit - even a banana?

    No flu. And, fruit might taste good. But, I need something more substantial.

    Watermelon with a dash of salt.

    Yoghurt with fruit? Chuck some nut butter or nuts on it.

    I've never liked yogurt. It just has a weird texture.

    Meh. I need more of a meal. Everytime this happens all anyone can think of is snacks. That's not what I need. A cause would be nice. A meal would be nice. Something satisfying would be nice. I apologize if I'm coming across as really rude or crabby. I'm just hungry. :(

    Are you vegan? More info would be helpful at this point.

    I just don't want to eat a bunch of junk. I just want to eat one thing and be done.

    Sounds like an eating disorder is brewing. Sorry. I think you need professional help

    if not it could be a health issue or a thyroid issue. my daughter has hypothyroid and it literally killed her appetite. now that shes on meds shes eating more food .

    This is what I'm afraid of. But, I don't know where that would have come from.

    Not vegan. Just vegetarian. And, "junk" is junk food, and anything gross like yogurt, whipped cream, jello, mousse, etc.

    But to me, that is not junk. It’s a texture thing. Do you like savory over sweet?

    You sound like you're getting sick. Focus on feeling better, ignore diet. Recovery is more important than a day or two of poor eating.

    This happens to me often. I find food to be a bit of a hassle when I'm busy with other things. The hungrier I get, the more my appetite goes away. Sometimes I find that once I make the choice to eat something and start eating, my appetite comes back a bit. Some safe foods that I gravitate towards-

    hardboiled eggs
    plain veggie burger patty
    protein bar (Clif Builder Bars are good)
    banana
    peanut butter and jelly sandwich
    hummus sandwich

    This happens to me sometimes.. but then I think about my goals and it quickly goes away and make sure I am fueling adequately and getting enough protein. Last thing I need is to lose my hard earned muscle, that snaps me out if it really quick.

    What about a smoothie.. just add some calories and down it.
