We’ve all been there.
You can’t concentrate. You feel a headache piercing your skull. Your stomach is growling so loudly that everyone near you can hear it. And if you don’t get something to eat soon, you just might bite the head off of the next person who talks to you (and then chew it up and swallow it).
You’re “hangry” — that is, hungry and angry.
Toddlers may be the demographic most often associated with empty-bellied crankiness, but it’s a feeling that people of all ages experience. While a child’s meltdown will probably encourage Mom or Dad to feed her, how adults address their hunger is more complicated.
While hanger is unpleasant to experience — and potentially dangerous to anyone who crosses your path — it serves an important function.
“Your body wants to keep you alive,” explains Alyssa Ardolino, a registered dietitian from Reston, Virginia, who is also a mindful eating expert as well as the nutrition communications coordinator for the International Food Information Council.
Your body doesn’t know that you haven’t eaten lunch because you left your wallet at home or had to skip dinner to stay late at work to finish a project. All it knows is that it needs more energy, now.
“Your body is super smart, so if for some reason, you have a deficit of calories or are not eating consistently, it focuses on the main parts of the body that it needs to sustain,” such as the heart, the brain, and certain vital organs, Ardolino says.
Like toddlers, we are biochemically affected by our hunger and it impacts our behaviors. In this regard, the Snickers ad campaign tagline “You are not you when you’re hungry” is right on the nose.
“Particularly when we haven’t eaten in a long time, we can feel irritable, we can have more fatigue, we have a decreased awareness in general,” says Ardolino. “A lot of people who haven’t eaten in a long time have a hard time concentrating or being present in situations.”
She adds that impulsivity is also common when we’re hungry.
