How your appetite behaves

You and someone else eat the same lunch. They are comfortable until dinner; you are hungry again by three, or never quite felt finished, or wanted food without being hungry. That difference is usually put down to discipline. In reality, it is biology.

Three descriptions to check yourself against

Fullness is slow to arrive: it takes a lot of food before a meal registers as finished.
Fullness doesn't last: real hunger comes back far too soon.
Appetite tracks mood: wanting food without being hungry.
