I'm always hungry. Why?

[HardCupcake]

I'm not on a diet..

I have a pretty healthy lifestyle. I eat regularly, drink a lot of water, good size portions of meals, and exercise 3 times a week..

But I always seem to be hungry. I snack in between meals also..

I'll sit or go out for a bit and at least 20 minutes later I'll be hungry again.

O_o... Is there anything I can do?

You are still young and probably have a high metabolism. Some people confuse hunger for thrist, but seeing as you drink lots of water that might not be the case.

Just be thankful that you still have this high metabolism because some peoples metabolisms tend to slow down as they age. Nothing to worry about unless you are trying to put on some weight.

Is there anything you can do? Yes, change your nutrition plan. Go see a dietitan if you are really worried about it. Aside from that, enjoy eating what you like as long as you are healthy and staying active.

It's all about balance.

Perhaps it's got to do with WHAT you're eating, not how much you're eating. The key to feeling full for an extended period of time comes from proteins. The best sources of which are poultry, fish, and egg whites.

I eat more meat than my brothers.. =/

Ahh I get this too. I think my problem was that I wasn't drinking enough water and my thirst was replaced by feelings of hunger. But seeing as you drink a lot of water already then this can't be the reason.

Is your diet well balanced? Do you get enough of all the essential nutrients? This could be why.

All I can say is don't chew gum as a soloution because I believe this makes your body believe you are eating something and your stomache gets into digestion mode or something which makes you more hungry.

I don't chew gum because it's tiring but I have heard what you have mentioned..

Yeah, my diet is balanced very well for my age..

what do eat in between meals ? this could be the answer !

[HardCupcake]

Pretzels, carrots.. Lol

[mf-ibmj]

Pretzels might make you hungry ! they fill your stomach but at the same time make you wanna have more sugar,

carrots are good for you although I never eat them !
