                                According to UNICEF, between 713 and 757 million people were undernourished in 2023, yet for many adolescents, the opposite problem—a seemingly bottomless hunger—is the norm. If you're a teenager who is constantly asking, "Why am I so hungry lately as a teenager?", you're not alone, and it's a completely normal part of development.
