Stress

Feeling stressed, bored or sad could also make you feel hungry more than often. Whenever we feel these emotions, we resort to food for comfort.

Sleep deprivation

Lack of sleep can enhance the secretion of ghrelin, a hormone which stimulates appetite. Poor sleep also leaves you fatigued and weary. For better energy levels, you crave for food more than often.

Heavy exercise

When you exercise your body might require more calories than you think. Eat a wholesome protein and fibre-rich meal to stay full. Not consuming enough calories might affect your exercise performance too.
