To be hungry (and grumpy) 5 hours from eating kui?

[WhatGoesHere]

I eat breakfast at 7:15/30am, lunch at 12:30, so 5 ish hours between, no issues. But... If I'm not eating dinner by 5:30, 6pm at the absolute latest... I'm such a grumpy cow. Is this normal?

I can't work out what the difference is? It's the same time between meals?

Maybe I should just have a biscuit or banana or something at 4 to tide me over?

I don't know what kui is -- a food item or an eating system? can you explain please?

What do you eat for lunch? If it's quite carby, sandwich based for example then you could try adding in a bit of good fat/protein.

Fat and protein fill you up, so you feel fuller on a smaller portion. Carby sugary stuff can cause a spike in your blood sugar, which means you can get hungry quicker.

So maybe change your lunch or have a good snack about 4.00.

What’s kui?
Can’t really say if it’s normal or not normal, I tend to have lunch at about 1 and then dinner at about 8. If I wanted a snack I’d have it when I wanted it but I don’t like an early dinner and 5:30/6 would be way too early for me.

@SiobhanSharpe I googled kui -

"Kui is a half-ox, half-dragon being that can create melodious sounds and bring peace and tranquility"

So quite a substantial meal.

Oh god... It's supposed to say Lunch 🤣🤣

A kui is for life, not just for lunch.

OMG I see a classic coming on! #savethekui

Err -- thank you. That's a relief, kui certainly sounds a tad filling.

If’s probably the kui-hunting process that’s using more energy, thus making you hungrier before dinner.

Try taking a couple of bananas - one for energy, one to lure the kui with.

Try having snacks in between your meals. I can't go more than a few hours before eating.

I'd be grumpy if all I'd eaten was kui too.

If you've eaten an ox-dragon, then I think that there is some kind of stark, bleak, Greek Mythology-style justice in your having been turned into a cow.

Depends on what you’re having for breakfast / lunch but adding a bit more protein and/or a protein based snack mid-afternoon snack might be a good shout.

Release the Kui…

Where did you find the kui op?

As Kui would be I suppose very high in protein I’m surprised you are hungry after eating. It depends on how much you actually ate. Or is it like the famous MN chicken?

Get a couple of Unicorn Snax OP and keep them in your bag. Very filling.

This is hilarious 😆
But to answer your intended question…

I eat at 7.30, 12.30 and 5 (mainly due to kids but I’m always hungry at these times now!)
What are you having for breakfast and lunch?

It's not you that's hungry for dinner OP, it's the kui. The poor thing must be tired ans starving.

Ps kui also wants chocolate and dessert as snacks.

Thank you for this thread it’s just what I needed. I often feel hungry again quite soon after a Chinese meal. What was the hunt like? 🤣

real answer - yes maybe a banana and are you drinking enough?

Be glad the kui didn’t eat you. Or your knephew.

Try adding some celery with the kui. That should make you feel stuffed.

I think it’s quite normal for blood sugar drop mid afternoon. In the first few hours after waking, you probably don’t need much energy and you have been resting all night. But 8 hours after waking, you’re tired, kui or no kui. Energy levels are not just about food intake and calories. 5:30/6pm is an early dinner. It sounds like you need to have a snack in the afternoon.

I eat dinner late and have to eat something between lunch and dinner as too long between meals makes me grumpy and my energy lapse
