Why am I always hungry after dinner? - Digestive Disorders Message Board

Lately I've been feeling hungry after I eat dinner and I don't know why. I eat enough during the day and my dinner is always a decent sized meal. I know logically that I'm not really hungry, but I feel hungry anyway. Usually I'll just drink some water or something to make it go away, but that doesn't always work. I'm curious about what's going on to make me feel hungry when my stomach is full.

Too many carbs in your dinner? I know that they can make you feel hungry again sooner because they convert to sugar so easily.

Well let's see. Last night I had some grilled marinated chicken, a little bit of salad and some flavored rice. And I had some iced tea. Is that too many carbs?

Nope, I'd say not, it was just a theory.

Doesn't sound like you ate enough food to satisfy you. Also try eating slower.
