Why do I always feel hungry. I know I have a fast metabolism but GOSH It gets annoying that I'm always so freakin hungry! Even when I eat and I can still feel food on my stomach and I wanna eat more. And the weird thing is I don't pick up much weight. Not that I want to gain weight trust me I don't but it's just weird.

Go have a doctor check your thyroid.

Try switching to whole grains and less processed foods. A sandwich made of whole wheat bread will stick with you MUCH longer than one made from white bread. A sweet packaged cereal keeps hunger away for a very short time, but a bowl of steel cut oats with honey, nuts and cinammon will last many hours. The higher the fiber content of your food, the slower it digests and the longer it will make you feel full.
BTW, that's great that you're conscious of this eventhough it hasn't caught up with your weight yet. The fact that you want to find out why and do something about it insures that you won't be one of those people who "used to be able to eat anything", but they suddenly ballon as they get older.

Go for protein--that'll fill you up-- in lean, healthy sources like chicken and nuts. And do get checked medically--you may have an overactive thyroid gland. My mom had that, and she probably ate 3000-4000 calories a day and still lost weight scary fast, and way too much weight at that. But if it is an overactive thyroid, it can be controlled with pills or surgery.

are you also thirsty a lot? You may want to be checked for diabetes if you are, or pee more than normal. Otherwise, you must be in your late teens or early twenties, and that is when your body is still maturing. Just eat when you're hungry....trust me, that won't always be the case
