How Many Times a Day Do You Feel Hungry?

April 13, 2009

Some people hardly ever get pangs of hunger, and others say they feel hungry all day. My stomach begins to growl about four times a day, right before breakfast, lunch, my 4:00 snack, and dinner. I actually love feeling hungry right before a meal, because it feels really satisfying to sit down and enjoy a plate of delicious food. So what about you?

I'm always hungry in the morning and at about 4pm. But if work isn't busy I'm constantly thinking about food - mostly what I should cook for dinner.

My usual schedule is 4 meals, but I only feel hungry for the middle two. I'm never hungry for breakfast but eat it anyhow. I'm also rarely hungry after evening runs, but know that I need something.

Usually around 3:30 I get hungry and after my evening runs around 8!

I feel hungry few times a day, usually in the morning and before meals if I haven't had a good breakfast.

i do get hunger pangs from time to time throughout the day. i don't really eat 'meals' during the day so i try to nibble, but that's not typically the case so i resort to my stomach growling to tell me when i need to eat.

I munch my way through the day!

I'm super hungry between 7am-1pm. During this time I eat my main meals and get my daily fruit intake. After 1pm, I'd probably be fine with no dinner or a light meal...

About 5 times a day. But I'm never hungry for multigrain poppyseed bread with a lump of butter like in that picture.

There are some days where I'm always hungry and then most days I'm only hungry about once or twice in the morning (don't eat) and/or before I take my nap (in the afternoon).

I tend to get really hungry only about 2 or 3 times a day, usually it's right before I'm going to eat. I'm never hungry right after working out, but I'm usually super hungry about an hour or so afterward when I eat breakfast.

Same here -- a few times a day, and that's why I would have a meal. Like some posters here, I eat three solid meals a day, and I'm not prone to snack.I am particularly hungry when I wake up in the morning. That's why I MUST have breakfast, and it's so satisfying for me.

ALWAYS hungry ... and if it's the day after a long run or a long bike or swim - watch out ! I will eat everything in my path ;)

I feel ravenous if I don't have breakfast first thing in the morning, & then again sometime in the afternoon, & occasionally right before dinner (if I manage to forego snacking earlier).

I rarely get hungry, usually once a day or so, but only if I haven't eaten in around 6-8hrs. If I eat every 6-8hr I won't normally get hungry. I often eat in the evening when I realize I haven't eaten all day and/or out of boredom.

Oh dear, I am one of those that is usually always at least a bit hungry or able to eat. And I DO eat! In fact, I'm a female who packs in about 2,500 calories a day... I am really active, though. I'm sure I could up that and still see no real weight gain. My metabolism is through the roof! (I'm not complaining, I guess!)

I never really get hungry-hungry. I have to make myself eat breakfast because I really never feel hungry after I wake up, and I usually have about 8 really small meals throughout the day - 4 "meals" of 200 calories, and then 4 "meals" of 150 calories. I know that seems like a very little amount, but I eat a lot because a good bulk of it is produce so I get really full, and plus, if' I'm constantly eating, I don't feel deprived at all.

I'm hungry about 3-4 times a day, especially before 11:30. =/ My lunch hour is so screwed and dinner time is basically at 5 PM for me. After that, if I still get hungry, I wouldn't even eat.

I've been trying to cut back on my calorie intake, but this have been leaving me feeling hungry in between meals a bit. :(

starangel82 4 years 5 weeks

4-5 times a day. Before meals, before my 3:30 snack and usually right before bed (but I ignore that one).

I'd say I get hungry about 4 times a day. I have weird work and school schedules and I have to plan my meals around them so I don't die of starvation. So I eat about 4 full meals on most days and am hungry for each of them. Yay for my metabolism.

I hate feeling really hungry, so I'm pretty much munching on something constantly. But since I also hate feeling overly stuffed after eating, I don't eat a whole lot at meals, so I am hungry again within an hour of eating. :P My eating habits are kind of odd I suppose.
