Whenever I try to just sit down and relax, I get hungry

Whenever I sit down to relax, play a game, watch a show or whatever, I start to feel hunger creeping in. The longer I sit the worse it gets but if I get up and go for a walk, or do something physical, the hunger goes away.

Is this normal or should I go to a doctor?

Are you feeding your body enough protein, carbs, and fat? Use the calculator here to figure out how much you need:

Also, I like to eat, so I typically do 4 snacks a day & 3 meals per day. I pretty much eat all the time, every few hours. I get hungry a lot.

Lately I've been drinking carbonated water. Something about the bubbles helps.

Caffeine/ephedrine also will make your cravings disappear in seconds, basically been my crutch for losing weight.

Also feeding off the blood and tears of innocent members of tech forums as I bore myself to death trolling them all day helps.
