Why do i like to eat so much?

Question

Why is it that even when I'm full I still want to eat? especially snacks like muffins, anything chocolate, or maybe small meals...the thing is that I get a craving for eating whenever I'm not doing anything or I'm simply watching tv or something like that and this isn't recently, I've been like this for a really long time...oh and by the way I'm 17 and no I'm not fat, actually I'm pretty skinny

Answer 1

it is just that u r a teenager so you crave food more cause u need to grow

Answer 2

"...whenever I'm not doing anything..."

It seems that your answer is around that phrase.

Answer 3

mabee your just a plain old foodie...

Answer 4

im like that and im only 13 but my not fat either there is probably some scentific reason but i dont no it lol i think it normal to be like that

Answer 5

I think you are simply greedy ( no offense), I only eat when I am hungry.

Answer 6

It probably has something to do with the kind of food you eat. some foods cause your blood sugar to spike, so a few minutes after you eat it you feel "hungry" again but that's just your body's reaction to correcting your blood sugar. Either that or you might have an oral fixation which just is like you feel compelled to having something in your mouth like say snacks or a cigarette. I'd suggest eating more whole foods and less sweets, and just chewing sugar free gum if you just want something.

It may be that you have associated watching TV and boredom with eating. Or it could be that you have a fast metabolism or low blood sugar and need the food. I feel that as long as you are eating things that are good for you then go ahead and eat. When I was little my mom would make me snacks to eat when we sat on the patio of my tia's apartment and people watch. She would by me platanutre ( thinly sliced and fried crispy plantain chips) to keep my occupied when we took the boat to Saint Thomas. I still like to eat them whenever I am on a boat. I hope that I was a little help to you.

Answer 8

i dunno im the same way..its weird, i think the only reason is that it tastes good
