Hunger crisis or emotional eating?

I have the same thing happen to me, especially in the evenings when I just find myself heading to the cupboard automatically. When I noticed this, I went to a dietitian, and it turned out that I was getting too little protein during the day. My body was hungry all day, and low mood was just an excuse. Take a look and see if there's anything missing in your menu too!

I was like that in college too. Especially during exam time, I'd eat junk food under the pretext of studying, using stress as an excuse. Those sweet cravings that hit me at night really ruined me. I had switched to carrots instead of snacks during that time, and after a while, you get used to it.

Honestly, this feels like a bit of an excuse. Instead of praying in the morning, tidy up the cupboard, get rid of the calorie-laden stuff. I mean, if there's junk food in the cupboard, even if you're not feeling down, you'll eat it anyway; it's a matter of discipline 🥲

This could be entirely emotional eating. Especially late in the evening, involuntary snacking may be triggered by hormonal imbalance or serotonin deficiency during the day. I think a more regular sleep schedule and a balanced breakfast rich in protein could help you.

Well, my fridge is quite a mess, but on the other hand, I never lack sweets at home. I actually eat very little during the day, and maybe that's where it comes from, just like you said. I tried to not eat after 6 PM, but it’s very difficult.

I think there's a high chance that it's a matter of low morale involved. You pray in the morning, then talk about the cupboard in the evening, but what happens in between? There might be someone pressuring you or events that annoy you throughout the day. Try to focus on them; maybe that's the reason.
