eating snacks right after eating lunch

Me, too. Often I looked for peanuts or nuts after eating a meal, especially when I ate spicy food. Or, when I don't eat enough carbo. I don't know what caused this...

If I am full already usually I won't eat. Most of the time when I am busy I forget to eat but because my father always with me everyday, he always remind me to eat and if I am not, he always tell me. He won't stop until I eat.

Annavi, when i was young i was very active eating. i always take snack, just right after i had lunch or dinner. My parents always complained and asked me to take good care of my health. They always reminded me that taking too much snack is not good for health. After i started to work and get married, my habit had changed. Because of too busy with my office job and even family life, makes me no time to take a break and have my snack. I am happy about it since i see myself able to shed a lot in the long run. Nowadays, it is much easier for me to buy clothes that i like since the size that i am looking for is always available.

I just had a late lunch, and it was a heavy one at that. Right after eating, I ate some sugar cookies. Yes it could pass off as dessert as it is sweet, but they were actually filling too. I too have that habit. I would always be looking for something to close off the taste after a meal, and most of the time a snack is what it takes.

Sometimes and usually happened at home.Usually during lunch, after eating lunch I still craving to eat something while watching TV eve though I just done eating lunch.

I know what you mean. Ill eat like a good sandwich and chips or something like that and like 5 minutes later ill just go get me like anothe bag of chips or something. I feel so fat when i do that.

I don't have this habit to eat snacks after having the meal. Since usually I am quite full after the meal and I don't want to eat extra food. Besides, this is not good for the digestion. I love China

I don`t keep snacks at home and only make some (not buy them) when company is coming. This sounds like anxiety to me. I went up 10 kilos (over 20 pounds) in a month after I quit smoking.

One of the reasons that many people feel compelled to eat a snack right after eating a meal is that they have eaten a meal with little or no nutritional value. So the body, (which only craves nutrition, not food) sends out a signal to the brain telling it to feed me. The logical side of our brain finds this confusing as we have just eaten and wonders why we are hungry. But we are not hungry, we are just lacking nutrition. So when we give in and have a sugary treat or even some fruit as a snack, then our body gets a short burst of energy which mimics the sensation of getting nutrition. This leads to overeating and obesity as the situation spirals out of control. Most obese people are actually malnourished. We often think of malnourished people as starving skinny kids in Africa, but in reality, they are also in western societies that eat too much junk food with little nutritional value.

Hi annavi: I must admit that I was the kind of guy who loved eating snacks before lunch but I think that was not good because I eat more than I need. If I just can't resist I drink some water before lunch. If you do this after some weeks you won't feel that hunger. ALVARO

i hate it,it really does not suit my appetite and i feel indigestion,so i better go for a walk after lunch

Hi annavi23, there are times that I eat some snacks right after eating especially during weekends with my husband when we are in the mall. I love to eat donuts after eating because its sweet and makes me happy.

I dont do this on a regular basis, but I have done it. When Im bored I find myself doing it more.

Well I do not have this surprising feature in me. And I do not think I actually know the reason too. May be it is psychological and you are habitual to eat less in your main meals to give space to have snacks. Once you have started liking this it has become a habit of yours. As far as I think it is only your mind that can remain hungry even after having a full tight meal and not your stomach. And your mind gets this satisfaction once your have that bite of snacks inside you.

it is normal but it's actually not that healthy but you can do whenever you want just not all the time that's what i do.
