Still hungry after all of this?

And it's not mental, it's physical. For the last hour or so I've eaten a whole pot of macaroni and cheese and I'm working on some meatballs right now but I'm still starving!
It kind of freaks me out as this is not normal at all.
By physical, I mean it feels like I haven't eaten in days. My body wants more food.
Help? Fast?

Some medications can make you feel hungry even though you are not. If you are concerned, please check this out with you doctor.

Perhaps what you're eating doesn't contain what your body is lacking in terms of proteins/vitamins/nutrients.

The feeling of hunger is due to the body letting you know that it's running out of something. It may just be after any old food that can be converted into energy to help fuel your body, but it can also be like a lack of iron, fatty acids, etc.

When it's a lack like that, eating what you normally eat (or eating more of what you've already eaten) won't resolve the issue because it won't have given the body what it's trying to tell you it needs. That's actually why a lot of people struggle with putting on unwanted weight. What they're eating isn't what the body wants so it causes them to overeat to try to feel full, but because the body doesn't like to waste it stores all that extra away for the future.

If the meatballs don't work try some fruits & veggies or nuts. The other night I was in a similar situation, unable to fill up. I'd eaten my dinner but felt like I hadn't eaten anything at all, despite my stomach feeling full. I hadn't had an orange for a while so I tried that, and by halfway through I felt full.

I get the same thing on occasion and have been having odd days like that for months, despite eating an abundance of vegetables, beans, and lean meats. If anyone gets it for lack of nutrition, it should be the people who hate all things green - not me. I've actually lost weight, too, despite cramming the occasional whole pizza down my gullet. No meds, no exercise.

This is a reminder for me to go in and get it checked out.

Raw fruits and veggies have more nutrients and fiber and help you feel full, sadly they don't do much in the comfort feelings that you get with Mac n cheese.

I have read that you can feel hunger, but are actually starting to become dehydrated. When I get like this, I ask myself how much have I had to drink in the last 24 hours.

then you need to have it more...
