Eating problem?

Hey,
Something strange has been happening to me recently. I have recently started to eat a lot more then I use to. I've been eating more then twice of what I use to eat. My mom thinks its wierd that I now eat twice as much for dinner and am always looking for snacks in between meals. I am just hungry and want to eat. This has never happened before. I am 18 and consider myself fairly healthy. Haven't gained any weight. Could this be physical or mental? Good or bad? I was thinking about taking advantage of my bodies increased food input and exercising.
The only physical thing I can think of that could be responsible for this would be all the walking I do around campus at school. The only mental/emotional thing I can think of would be that I'm finally over an incident that happened afew months ago.
I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,
Robert

well, if you're over teh incident, then that probably wouldn't cause an increase in eating. people usually eat in order to cope with a problem, not once it's over.

and lots of walking around campus probalby wouldn't trigger that big of a change in your appetite. could it be stress from class?

As Mael suggested, it might be from stress of your classes - or in my case right now, the final exams (which I finish tomorrow). But I always eat more and less healthy than I usually do during the exam periods.

I don't think its stress. I breeze through all my classes and barely studied for finals. As I am typing this at 12AM, I just finished 2 bowls of cereal and milk. I've also noticed that I prefer eating sweet things before going to bed. I usually don't like sweet things, but seem to tolerant and crave them before bed. Weird eh?

Maybe you're pregnant!

Seriously though, how much food do you eat in a day? Do you eat until you feel sick? How big are you? You're young and probably still growing a little, your body needs energy for that. And excercising is a great idea, you should have a lot of extra energy to get rid of.

haha, I'd be the world's first pregnant human male!
For meals like breakfast and lunch, I eat as much as anyone else, but in between I will usually have snacks that total a full meal each. I eat until I am satisfied and not hungry, never enought to make me sick. If its good food, I will eat even more! I weigh about 125 pounds and have been for the last 2 years now. I will try to get some physical activities in once it isn't so cold out!

Thanks for the input,
Robert

Since your only 18 it's not unreasonable to suspect another growth spurt. My Dad didn't get married until he was 22 and he grew 2 more inches after that. His wedding pictures he's the same height as my mom. When I knew him he was taller. As long as you are still a healthy weight for your height and aren't putting on a tubby belly then don't worry about it.

As far as I know too much sugar can cause you to eat more. Course I'm no nutritionist, or a doctor, you may want to ask either of those.
