Why We Eat. Hunger Cues Explained | Nutritionist Explains | Myprotein?

Our bodies give us hunger cues to let us know when we need food, like a friendly reminder from our tummy.

Imagine your stomach is like a little robot that says, “Hey, I’m empty! Time to eat!” That’s hunger. It happens because your body used up some of its energy stores, like snacks in a backpack, and needs more fuel to keep going.

When you eat, it’s like filling up the robot's backpack with new snacks. Your brain gets happy because it knows you're full now, and that’s called fullness.

Sometimes we eat even when we’re not really hungry, maybe because we see food or we’re bored. That’s like eating a snack just because it looks good, even if your robot isn’t saying “Hey!”

So next time your tummy feels empty, think of it as a friendly message from your body: “Time to eat!”
