Hunger pangs are like your stomach saying, 'Hey, I need food!' When you haven’t eaten for a while, your stomach starts to shrink, and the muscles inside it start to contract. That makes your stomach feel empty, and those contractions can make you feel a rumbling or even a pain in your belly.
Examples
- Your tummy feels like it's doing jumping jacks when you haven’t eaten all day.
- You hear your stomach growl after skipping breakfast and lunch.
- It feels like something is poking your belly from the inside.
