Why am I hungry no matter what I eat?

This isn’t all the time, just right now. It is nearly 10pm and I had leftover roast potatoes and an apple at about 6pm after work. Then I had rice at about 7 with some roast kumara, and have since also had more potatoes! I am STILL HUNGRY! And I don’t know what’s going on with my body! Usually I’d have like, just the rice for dinner, I’ve eaten 3 times more than I usually eat and I’m still hungry and I am starting to freak out! It’s an actual legit hunger, not a craving. Like, I can feel it in my tummy. And it feels like I haven’t had anything to eat for ages. Why could this be? Remember it’s just now, it has never happened before and didn’t happen at lunch or anything. It’s strange cause all the things I ate are carbs and veges.. which should fill me up heaps y’know? It’s not like I just ate a freekin salad haha

Answer #1

How old are you? If you are younger than 18, I think you are growing up. If you are a girl, maybe the period is coming ?!

Answer #2

Nah I’m nearly 20 lol so it’s not that…

Answer #3

How are you sleeping? Not getting enough sleep will cause an increase in the hormone ghrelin which is produced mainly from your stomach and tells you that you’re hungry. If thats not it, whats your body temperature like? If you feel warm a lot, it could be that you have an overactive thyroid. Or maybe you’re jmust using a lot of enerfy currently and need more food.

Answer #4

Oh wow that’s interesting, I’m getting less sleep than usual lately as I’ve been working night shifts and graves. I don’t think it’s my thyroid as I had a full body physical only about a year ago, also I’m quite healthy (I say as I’m currently eating a twix bar hahaha) and don’t get temperature fluctuations or anything…. I was thinking about the energy thing, I’ve been working really hard and have increased my running and exercise so I was wondering about that but the thing that stumps me is why is it only right now!!? lol it’s really strange!
