Hi , thank you for using health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
IS this symptoms started after your 'no eating after 7 pm exercise'? Blood glucose sensed by brain is responsible for hunger or satiety. Exercise reduce glucose store in body.
Light dinner is always needed, with out it blood glucose level will be maintained at lower limit of normal level in healthy individual.
Brain usally get this single and hunger center become activated and become responsible for hunger pangs in morning.
Few extra carbohydrate (glucose ) in light dinner would be needed to reduce hunger pang in morning.
Hope this will help to understand your hunger pangs and you will be able to control your hunger pangs.
Regards.
