Why am I always hungry at work, but on the weekends at home I can go 7 or 8 hours and not eat?

I am the same way.  It could be because you are bored and work and want a distraction so you think of food; whereas on weekends you're interested in what you are doing and forget about food.  It could be the work requires a lot of attention and energy, so you get hungry; whereas on weekends you're taking it easy.  Finally, it could be that you're depressed at work and need a morale booster; whereas you're happier at home.  All those have happened to me.

Hello, you are most probably overloading yourself during your meal. you should eat slowly; it takes approximately 10 minutes for your brain to register the amount of food that you have eaten and feel satiety; this feeling of heaviness that you are describing is called heartburn and it's because your stomach is full very quickly and there is not much time for it to ''stretch'' enough and start the digestion process. the other thing that i am thinking is that you probably do not eat at regular times and you eat once a day while the rest of the day you don't eat anything. if you do that, it's very bad for your digestive system and you need to have snacks in between meals. it's not because of the carbs though. (you said it already for yourself...'a lot of pasta'...it's not the type, it's the quantity).Best of luck.

This happens to me sometimes too. I think that mine is from eating too early or too late. I can't eat anything before 10-11am and nothing after 6pm. Sometimes I even feel sick though when I just eat a regular meal.  I don't know the cause of it,but have no other symptoms to indicate a problem,so I just live with it.\n\nIf you are experiencing other symptoms,I would recommend that you speak with your physician. If it concerns you greatly,see your doctor too.

Unfortunately, you find what most people who work these hours do, and it is just your body reacting to an abnormal wake/sleep cycle you are on.\n\nOur bodies are designed to sleep at night and be awake in the day. Since you are doing the opposite, you will have these problems. Many people don't stay on this schedule for long, I suggest you consider your options to save your health in the long run.\n\nTo help you in the mean time, I suggest using your mind; cross word puzzles, math problems, reading a subject that is exciting in a positive way, etc. Also, taking a walk for a few minutes helps to circulate blood to the brain, do some slow deep breathing too while walking. Don't eat big, heavy meals that are fatty in nature, those will make you sleepy. Eat light healthy meals, this will help you to not feel full and then get sleepy.

We eat around five. I don't like eating a big meal early in the day. There's nothing left to do and I always get hungry again later. Plus I'm not an early riser. Eating dinner at 8 would be fine with me!

I did not understand you correctly! There could be 2 possibilities for your answer. One is that you work(active) too much so you feel that the day for you is too long or the other could be that you are totally bored and waste your time so the day seems too long.\n\nFor the first reason: Get down on your foot! Relax! You don't have to work so much. The world is not totally dependent upon you, everybody's working so just chill out. Have a break, think free.\n\nFor the other reason: Just do what I say and your day will be as fast as possible. First wake up late in the morning like at 10:30am or something then freshen up till 1:00pm, have dinner at 2:00pm while watching T.V. shows, eat till 3:00pm. Then again sleep or play computer games or do something till 5:30 or 6:00pm. At 6:00pm again sit before T.V. and watch shows or FIFA world cup for now. The time will go till 7:30 to 8:30pm after watching, now as it is 8:30pm you know it again Dinner time. After dinner, at about 1 hour later, sit over the net. The its sleeping time. Do this atleast a whole week and see how fast your day goes.

Well, the more hours you are awake, the more time you have to notice hunger, and the more time you have to do battle with the urge to eat something.  Also, unless you are doing a lot of very physical things with that time, you are not burning calories nearly as fast as you are wearing out your mental processes.\n\nReal dieting takes self-control: I'm sure you know that.  And the more wired-but-tired you are (which is what sleeplessness is), the less you have self-control, or at the very least, it is psychically wearing in a way that multiplies, not simply adds up.\n\nI would recommend you take a mild sedative, such as Valerian, to get some sleep earlier than 1:00 a.m.  Since you need to get up by 5:00, realistically you should try to get to bed by 10 as often as possible.

Thats a really hard thing to do because your body is probably programed to think "time to eat" at night. When your body starts to kick in and do that drink some hot tea or make some popcorn. Drink or eat something that is light but will make you feel full. Eat less and less each night and hopefully the feeling will stop.

I don't think it's a good idea to eat that much in one sitting if you can help it.  You're already eating more calories than an average person, correct?  It would probably make you unable to do any of the exercise you need to do, you'd be incredibly sluggish.  If you are allowed any breaks at work, take advantage of them and eat,eat,eat, figure out some high calorie, but healthy snacks that you can eat quickly and efficiently.  Your place of work has to let you have a lunch break, it's the law.  Find out if perhaps, instead of one hour or half hour, whatever you are given, could be split up into smaller fifteen minute breaks, explain why you would like to do so, the worst that can happen is they say no.  Good luck and I hope this helps!

For me sometimes I just eat if I am bored even though I know I'm NOT hungry. You can't exactly get rid of them but try doing other things to keep your mind off of food!

Usually if I've come home from work late and have to work in the morning.  I feel like I need more time at home and sleeping just sends me back to work quicker than I want.

I think hunger is just as much a mental thing as it is emotional and physical. I believe that you are doing all to keep your physical self from being hungry, it's the emotional you that is hungry. Try a new hobby or something to keep your mind busy. And, keep telling yourself that you are working for a better you, all the way around.\nBest of luck to you

there are no laws... but in the employer's policies there might be something about being sent home early.  Like where I work, we do not have to go unless we want to and they can not work us less than 4 hours unless we want to work less.

I think it has something to do with nutrition and your metabolism.  You need to eat every 3-4 hours to keep your metabolism going.  Breakfast lunch and dinner back in the day would have been about that far apart.  As far as a square meal is concerned, that just has to do with eating a balanced meal each time you eat.  It keeps you from having deficiencies.  \n\nToday however, it is often recommended that one consume 5-6 smaller meals.
