Real hunger or cravings

Telling physical from emotional hunger helps you decide when to stop.

Physical hunger

It builds gradually, you feel it in your stomach, and any food satisfies it.

Cravings (emotional hunger)

It comes suddenly, asks for something specific (sweet, salty), and often comes with boredom, stress or tiredness.
