You’re acting hangry

When too much time passes between meals, you might feel your upper lip curl and your patience run out. You might call it “hangry,” but a nutritionist might question whether you’ve had a few too many grams of protein in your day. “Without enough carbs, your body’s blood sugar dips, and you don’t produce enough mood-regulating serotonin, causing you to be ‘hangry,’” McMordie says. If you start to feel your fuse run short, McMordie suggests snacking on a side dish like Greek yogurt with berries, string cheese with fruit, or hummus with whole grain crackers, to stabilize your blood sugar and your mood.
