Stomach hunger is physical hunger caused by your body needing energy. Eating balanced meals regularly helps support fullness, energy and overall health.

Head hunger is the urge to eat driven by thoughts, habits, emotions or triggers rather than physical hunger. Managing it involves awareness, routine meals, reducing triggers and self-kindness.

Heart hunger is emotional eating driven by stress or feelings, not physical hunger. Understanding triggers and practising self-care can help manage it.
