Hungry all the time?

Recently, I find after every block at school that I'm ravenously hungry, my stomach growls like a lion, and if I don't eat something my head starts to hurt.  Does anyone know why this could be happening? I'm sure I'm getting enough nutrients and calories. I also don't eat crap all the time like some other kids my age. Could it be possibly because of birth control? I noticed I got a bit chubbier... but my weight only went up a pound and a half. Please help.. it's getting in the way of my ability to think in school! 

It could very definitely be because of the birth control. I haven't had any experiences with it, but from what I've heard, birth control increases your appetite. The 'chubbiness' is probably water retention, which I've also heard can be caused by birth control, though it could be a number of other things. And, don't feel bad--I'm not on birth control or anything and I'M hungry after every class too.. basically, if I'm not eating, I'm hungry! haha. Seems to be a pretty common teenage thing, so don't lose sleep over it darling.

Lol

Thanks

trying eating some higher in protein first thing in the morning. I have terrible mid morning hunger and if I have some high in protein first thing I'll be feeling much fuller all day.

 

You could have low blood sugar....maybe go to get checked out at the doctors. I know that I had these symptoms and I found I was anemic. If I were you though I would have a balanced snack during each break between classes. I normally bring a protein bar, fruit (they are portable, apples or banana), maybe pb crackers, or the snack packs of tuna salad are great too. Just make sure you are listening to your body, if you are hungry, then eat, and don't worry about a pound, it is probably water weight!
