Two plates of lentils and veg - still famished but whyhl

[amoreoamicizia]

I don't know what's going on with me at the moment: I've had two full plates of lentils and vegetables cooked together in yoghurt and I'm still starving. I even added a third of a pack of feta to top the second plate in order to add protein but that still didn't help.

I've got an apple crumble (serves two) in the freezer and I'm thinking of putting it in the oven and polishing the whole thing off with double cream. I'm not ill and I ate normally today. Just not sure what's going on, why would I suddenly feel ravenously hungry? Shall I crumble and have the crumble or stick it out? 🤔

Ooh that type in the title is going to irritate me!

Edit: so I realise now my first post isn't that clear, I'm feeling kind of abnormally hungry.

Order a kebab

Are you dehydrated? Sometimes it can present as hunger. Drink a pint of water at least and see how you feel.

I'd have a pint of water! Thirst can often be misunderstood as a feeling of hunger.

What (bar the feta) a joyless dinner. Eat the crumble.

@comedycentral cross post. Great minds. 😆

It's the time of year, we're all craving carbs

That's basically just soup. I'd have bread and butter with it to fill me up.

Have the crumble! Or some toast

Lentils and vegetables cooked in yoghurt? Sounds very strange to me! Eat the crumble.

Crumble! All the way 😋

You can't very well have crumble in the freezer and not eat it

Crumble and ALL THE CREAM

Thanks everyone, water was a great thought so I'm going for a belt and braces approach: water and crumble!

I couldn't eat this late, have a hot drink.
Sometimes I'm extra hungry depending on my cycle.

I find I need something crunchy in a meal to feel full. If it’s all soft food it doesn’t quite hit the spot

Is this going to become a competitive under-eating thread?

I'd personally eat the crumble with all the cream with a lovely hot cuppa. Followed by hot buttery toast if still hungry. Then remember never to just have lentils and veg cooked in yoghurt ever again.

Yes, I think something was off about the meal. I normally have it with rice but I didn't today.

Have a banana. If you don't want a banana, you can't really be hungry!

Well done, you've just tempted me back to my leftover pizza. Yum!

Ooh, pizza! I could knock back a (smallish) pizza, that's how I'm feeling even after two dinners. Bizarre.

It's not filling enough you need rice, bulgar, Pearl barley or similar with it

What stage of your cycle are you in? Every month I have one ravenous day when I eat all round me, and one day when I barely eat at all

Every month I have one ravenous day when I eat all round me, and one day when I barely eat at all

I have this but it's 2 days each. So 2 days of 5000 calories plus & 2 days of struggling to eat 1000. Always had it.

lentils & veg wouldn't satisfy me though.

Doesn't sound very filling really.

But also, are you due your period? I can eat like a horse beforehand 😂
