Hunger and Fullness Scale

When we get lost in the world of diet culture, we can lose a lot. Many of us fall victim to yo-yo dieting and disordered eating and we lose out on relationships, important life events, and more. 

Others suffer emotional and physical damage to their minds and bodies. 

One thing almost all victims lose is the ability to listen to and trust in their hunger and fullness cues. We start to not be able to tell when we’re hungry and when we’re full. 

This is where Intuitive Eating comes into play. Intuitive eating is NOT a diet—it is a way of eating that listens to your body’s hunger/fullness cues. It is here to teach you if you are physically hungry or emotionally hungry. Sometimes listening to your hunger and fullness cues can be hard. Using a hunger and fullness scale, in the beginning, can help you become more in touch with your body.  

Refer to the hunger and fullness scale below and try to spend some time evaluating where you fall on it throughout the day.

*To begin a meal, you want to start at a 3-4 where you are hungry to slightly hungry and stopping between a 7-8 where you feel full to satisfied is when you want to finish a meal.
