It's 6 p.m. in the evening.Generally I take my dinner around 9 p.m.But don't know why I have begun feeling hungry so early.
While typing these lines I am thinking about a particular roadside eatery where tasty,spicy fritters and samosas are available.It's just at a stone's throw from my place.My hunger is insisting me to shut off my pc and leave for the eatery.
Should I give in to my hunger and leave?Or,should I wait till 9 p.m. which is my dinner time?
I am confused and restless.My hunger has grown irresistible.

@Shiva49,Yes,I am feeling hungry,Sir,but don't know why.May be because today I had been to an old ShriRam temple located about 5 kms from my house,but 5 kms is a distance I cover everyday during my long evening walks.I wonder why I am feeling so hungry now.

@silvermist Of course.However I generally don't eat at restaurants or eateries.I visit them only when I want to enjoy something spicy,something different.

@silvermist,It's not dinner,my friend.It's just a snack.I am afraid,if I enjoy fritters now,it may leave me unable to have my dinner at 9 p.m.

I eat when I am hungry and don't if I am not, or will stick to a small snack if I know I should be hungry and am not.

@Jessicalynnt,I,too,do exactly that,but today don't know why I am feeling so hungry.It's too early for me to eat something,but the fact is that I am hungry and need to eat.

@Jessicalynnt But,it seems,my hunger or,perhaps,my desire can get satisfied only if I take hot and spicy fritters or a couple of hot,spicy samosas.

@ScindhiaH,I agree,and in fact,this is exactly what I do.But don't know why I am feeling so hungry so early.My body badly needs something spicy,and unless I take some spicy food,I may not be able to work.

Don't ever deprive your stomach, go and enjoy the roadside eatery.

I think it depends on what you ate for lunch, wether it's heavy or light. Also depends on the foods you ate, if you ate mostly fruits and vegetables then you'll be hungry right away. Meat would take longer to digest. I would eat when i'm hungry because that is what my body is telling me and not follow time

@louievill,I have been vegetarian since my childhood.In my dinner I usually take two chapatties,rice,fried pulses and curry.I don't think it's heavy.I don't have any problem with my digestive system.So,please,let me enjoy fritters now.

best thing I can say is eat when you are hungry. Although 9pm seems a bit late ....what time do you go to bed ? Do you have time to digest the food ?

@Traceyjayne,You are absolutely right.I never eat even a single biscuit unless and until I am very hungry.Fortunately my digestive system is in a very good shape and I have no problem at all.But yes,for the last six years I have been a late sleeper.I never fall asleep before 2 a.m.Before that time sleep keeps eluding me no matter how much tired I am.
