Re: I'm a teenager why am I always hungry?

My guess is that your not eating enough protein and possibly fats to keep you going. Definitely avoid sugar, sweets and caffiene as much as possible as they cause that "sugar,caffiene" high but later you will crash and be hungry.

Also make sure you are eating often enough. Many active young people need 3 good meals and 2-4 healthy snacks to keep their energy high and hunger at bay.

And also, do not miss breakfast. - You need to fuel your body in the am.

I would suggest lean proteins with meals: chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, vegetarian options such as soy burgers, beans. Peanut butter, nuts have protein and fat as well. Snack on nuts, lowfat cheese and crackers, hummus spread on crackers, raw fruit or veg.

Try these and see if you are less hungry.

Re: I'm a teenager why am I always hungry?

Thank-you. What are your sugestions if I do not like fish, because I think this is making an effect on my diet. Do you know something that can maybe replace it?
Also what do you suggest if my skin is very dry even when the weather is humid?
Thanks again

Re: I'm a teenager why am I always hungry?

Fish is just another form of protein, so If you don't like it, just eat other proteins, such as turkey, chicken, eggs ect. The only advantage of fish, is that it contains omega 3 fatty acids which have "healthy fats," among many other benefits.

Regarding dry skin I would suggest again a generally healthy diet with lean protein, some healthy fats, plenty of water and a good multi vitamin. You may just have a tendency for dry skin.
