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

Or maybe the reason why you don't want to eat is that it doesn't taste good.ahaha

Maybe the aroma or the smell of the food you are cooking just makes you feel not hungry anymore. It's kind a weird behavior of yours, but I truly suggest you eat especially if you know you have not eaten something before cooking..

That is sure a weird behavior of yours, maybe you can ask a doctor about it. Sometimes are body function unnaturally without our own understanding.. The best way is to ask experts about it. -Happy Mylotting--

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 ....

Most of the time after cooking I am in no mood to eat. I feel too full after that. And I am not in the habit of tasting the good or eating while cooking. Its just that I feel full just looking at the food laid on the table.

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.
