well i have a very huge appetite and i only weigh 105 pounds and i eat jus as much as my brother who is twice my size. and if you do little to no activity and your eating alot you actually are stretching your stomach so that could cause you to want more to eat.i learned all about that in my anatomy classes

i think its other way round. if you feel like eating all the times, automatically you will gain weight. once yopu gain, its very difficult to lose it. so we must control food taken.

I can't actually say that gaining weight can cause one to get hungry all the time. But here's a fact: When we eat, our stomach intimates our brain when we have taken the amount of food that our body actually requires. But for an obese person, the stomach fails to intimate the brain at the correct time when it has accumulated the required food. Hence, the person keeps on eating much more than what the body wants, ultimately leading to more fat accumulation in body. There's one more fact. One should take good time while taking meals. Its because our stomach takes around 10-15 minutes to intimate the brain about the food intake.

If you are hungry all the time, it might be (depending on your age) that you are going through some kind of growth spurt that is causing that. If you are not of an age where you are growing, then being hungry all the time might cause you to eat more and then gain weight, however gaining weight by itself cannot cause you to be hungry. It does not really work like that. What might cause you to be hungry might be some kind of metabolic imbalance. You should consult a doctor if you are worried. All the best!
