Why does eating a lot make you even hungrier the next day?

600 viewsBiologyOther

I had a heavy, sumptuous meal lately. I was so full that I even skipped breakfast the next day. But by lunchtime I was craving a hearty meal again, even though I definitely didn’t need the food. It was like a hangover. Isn’t that completely illogical?

Your stomach stretches when you eat a lot to accommodate the volume. However, it takes some time for it to shrink back down again. Competitive eaters use this strategy by drinking a lot of water before a competition. That’s also why many of them do not look overweight.
