I admit I don't cook a lot but once in a while I do
I love shrimp so tomorrow I decided to make some getting hungry only thinking of it
But I know already when I'm done cooking and we sit down to eat I am so full that I can't eat!
And it is not that I ate something while I was cooking
I am just full and I don't know why
Who else has the same problem?
Does anyone know why?

I hardly cook, the only dish that I know how to cook
is instant noodle and fry egg. So, I have not experience
of feeling full or lost appetite after cooking. I always
felt hungry when I smell the wonderful aroma of curry chicken
when my mother-in-law cook. She will cook more rice if she cooks
curry as she knows I will have great appetite with curry!

I think it happens to all of us, if we cook our own dishes we don't really feel that hunger any more. I don't know either what it is, but kinda weird i guess.. ahaha

Yes, yes it happens to me too. While I am cooking I am hungry.
I tell myself I will eat this, this and this when I taste the dish
while cooking. However, after I cooked and sit down with everyone
at the dining table. I am fulled, just can't eat. They will say this
dish is really good, i should eat more. I personally think may be
after eating we are too tired to eat. Or perhaps while cooking we
inhale the smell an it went up to our brain and informed that we have
taken them ....

This happens to me sometimes, because like you, I also don't cook often being a not so talented cook anyway, lol! I think it has something to do with me doing lots of taste-testing that by the time I am done, I am halfway full, even so full to sit down and eat with the rest of the family.

I eat a little piece from almost all ingredients I use (if they can be eaten) so the most of the times no. But if I will abtain from this, I'm sure I will be very hungry, and watching and participating to the process of the preparation will just make it worst.

I COOK every day. but after I finish cooking, I feel full. I do not know why. But If others cook for me, I am so hungry and i am eager to taste. It is so strange.
