5 Ways to Get Rid of Hunger Pains When You Can't Take Lunch Not being able to take lunch is a common issue when you are a nurse. It can be hard to concentrate on your work when your stomach is so empty that it hurts. There are ways to alleviate these hunger pains, even if it is only temporarily. You are going to need to eat eventually. 1. Drink Water Drinking water can help with hunger. Being that hunger is the first sign of thirst, a big glass of water may be all that you need for a while. Water also does countless other things for your body, and drinking it regularly is great for it. 2. Exercise Since you are always running around your workplace, this may seem pointless. However, by making sure that your whole body is stimulated, it can distract it from feeling hungry. Do some stretches or quick and easy exercises whenever you get the chance. 3. Snack Intelligently Snacking can help to curb cravings when you do not have time to eat a full meal. Some snacks are better than others when it comes to managing cravings. Some good, quick snacks are as follows: 

Yogurt o Low fat, sugar free yogurt gives you protein to help you stay alert without extra calories.

Vegetable sticks o Mix it up and keep it interesting. Carrots and celery are just two yummy vegetables you can eat as a quick snack. Combine with some dressing or dip for an extra blast of flavor.

Cheese and crackers o Low-fat cheeses may help you feel less bloated. These cheeses include but are not limited to brie, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and edam cheeses.
