Hunger induced anger is believed to be caused due to various reasons.

When we eat food, it is mostly converted to glucose.

This glucose is absorbed by blood and then transported to our cells, especially those present in our brain.

However, when glucose level drops, our brain perceives it as a life-threatening situation.

It gets stressed, thus making us impatient
and irritated which eventually leads to anger.

In addition to this, when our energy levels
are low, a brain chemical called Neuropeptide.

Y is produced that makes us hungry and encourages us to eat.

But as the same chemical regulates aggression, its production makes us angry as well.
