Hunger-Fullness Scale Basics
Hunger-fullness scale basics use a 1–10 cue check to time meals during intuitive eating—most helpful after regular eating restores readable signals.
Hunger-fullness scale basics use a simple one-to-ten check—one is ravenous, five neutral, ten uncomfortably stuffed—to guide when to start and stop eating during intuitive eating work. Aim to begin around three to four and finish around six to seven while rebuilding trust; perfection is not required.
Scales fail when restriction numbs cues—regular meals come first.
Common questions
-
What if you never feel hunger on the scale?
Long restriction can blunt cues. Schedule meals every three to four hours for weeks before expecting clear numbers—work with a clinician if cues stay absent.
