Yes, it is a natural feeling and it is ok to be hungry, just be aware that when you are hungry you behave differently than when you are not, and it might actually play against you (have you seen the Snickers commercial? It's spot on).
It can also be used in your favor, for example there was some research about the severity of sentences relative to the time of day. What they found out is that judges are more lenient (give out lesser sentences) at the beginning of the day (right after breakfast) and right after lunch - the opposite was true as well, the harshest sentences were given right before lunch and by the end of the day.
Several startup teams have said to have used this when scheduling their YC interviews. It would be amazing if the YC teams could share acceptance rates based on this info.
- dominotw 8y agoYea hangry is a legit word in dictionary https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/hangry https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/hangry But I was concerned that eliminating a natural feeling will also eliminate benefits associated with both for mind and body. I grew up poor in third world country and eating constantly was not a thing and being hungry was as natural as being sweaty. In rich countries you never get practice dealing with hunger, you never get a chance to make peace with in recognize it as a valid feeling. People never leave house without a snack in their bag.

If that's true, and I can imagine it may hold some weight, it is a depressing reality we live in.
