Q: hi mike can you give me some tips on how i can stop myself from feeling hungry as i eat alot

A: For most people getting hugry while eating a lot means you're eating mostly unhealthy foods. Things like chips, cookies, ice cream, cakes, other sweets, and even white bread are especially notorious for only satisfying you for a short while and then leaving you hungry again soon after.

Instead you should make sure a good part of your every meal consists of whole grains, veggies, and/or legumes in addition to some source of protein and some healthy fats. Meals like that are not only good for you but they also keep you satisfied for much longer.

Check out my Nutrition article and especially the section titled 'Create Your Own Healthy Meals' (it's towards the end of the article). There I list healthy foods and good meal combinations for filling meals. They are not actual recipes, but rather information for you how to put together complete meals. For example, you'll see there that Legumes + Healthy Fats makes for a good meal and then you can go to your favorite cookbook or websites to look for recipes that fit such as this three-bean salad!

There may be other reasons, besides unhealthy meals. You might actually not be eating as much as you think -- some people think they're eating a lot when they actually don't. If you are a growing teenager, especially, skimping on (healthy) food is usually a bad idea. You may also be not getting enough physical activity or you might just need to find things to occupy your time so food is not on your mind so much. Finally you may have a genuine medical condition and should talk to your doctor. But what I said first, about not eating healthy, is certainly the most common reason why people feel hungry despite eating a lot.
