You feel hungry in the evening because your body has a clock that tells it when to eat. It's like having a little timer inside you that goes 'It’s time for dinner!' around sunset. If you skip meals or don’t eat enough during the day, this clock can make you really want food by night.
Examples
- After skipping lunch, you feel really hungry when it gets dark.
- You eat a small snack at night because your body says 'I need food now!'
- Your mom always eats cake in the evening, she says her clock tells her to!
