are there any foods that will make you hungrier later??

[jakethasnake]

i just read that ketchup will do that in another thread, which is a shame if its true, because i really love ketchup and i like to put a little bit on my eggs for some added flavor...any reason for this, i think refined sugar was mentioned, so does anything with refined sugar eventually make u hungrier?

I dont know about specific food, but I do know that if i'm not even really hungry but I should eat because of the time and my metabolism, if I eat just a little it makes me hungry as fuck. Damn I love to eat.

Dopamine, the "desire/ reward" chemical may be to blame. Specifically, when you go through Dopamine withdrawal, your body craves more. On of the easiest ways to get Dopamine is to eat, as your body likes food. Sugar usually forces huge amounts of Dopamine to be produced, so its withdrawal leads you to crave more. Its the oldest addiction con: survival.
Our biology is set up to crave carbs in the evening (when we are resting) so they will be stored. What's more, as our Serotonin levels drop, our ability to maintain self control also ebbs; so you may end up nibbling on some sugary goodness, only to find yourself hungrier as soon as the Dopamine kicks in and begins to fade.

Yep, simple carbs are the enemy.

The Dopamine stuff is theory, but only because I can't personally cite a study. From what I know in my admittedly amateur studies of neurochemistry and addiction mechanisms, it makes the most sense.
The carb craving thing is fact. The studies are in the source I cited, and I've ran into a few other sources on the net.
