Shouldn't I be hungry for lunch?

[Rylaenna]

Hi, I've noticed that while I'm plenty hungry for breakfast and dinner, I'm not usually at all hungry for lunch - even if I've just spent an hour doing cardio or lifting weights. I don't eat any snacks in the morning and only drink water or tea in the morning. Breakfast is usually around 9am with lunch at 1 or 2pm.

I usually make an effort to eat something, particularly on lifting days. However, having switched to Paleo a couple weeks ago, I know I shouldn't eat unless I'm hungry. This would put me eating two meals a day with maybe a handful of nuts in the late afternoon. I am trying to loose weight/body fat, but should I be worried about not getting enough nutrition?

That's very common for people going Paleo... Personally I would listen to my body, maybe eat a small lunch

If you're worried, you could try counting calories for a few days to get an idea of how much food you're actually getting and adjust if needed.

The high protein, high fat paleo foods are more satiating than the high carb foods the average person is used to. I know I personally cut over 500 kcal when I switched without trying. I now eat when I'm hungry now, which many times means not eating lunch until 3 and having a smaller portion at dinner.

Edit: poor sentences. I blame the long island iced teas. No, they are not paleo.
