Put appetite changes into your own words

People use “food noise” to describe recurring thoughts about food. For your record, a concrete example is often more useful than the label alone.

Describe the experience

Was it hunger, thoughts about food between meals, cravings, or difficulty concentrating on something else? Use your own language. You do not need to give every feeling a numerical score.

Add enough context

Note when the experience happened and any details you want to discuss, such as sleep, meals, or a recent routine change. Avoid assuming a single entry explains what the medication is doing.

Keep the goal practical

A note can help you remember what to ask your clinician. An appetite entry does not tell you to raise a dose, skip a meal, or change a prescription.

Bring concerns into care

If changes in eating, appetite, or distress are affecting daily life, discuss them with a qualified professional. Kairo organizes your observations; it does not diagnose an eating disorder or assess your nutritional needs.

Educational information, not medical advice. If something feels urgent or wrong, contact your clinician or emergency services.
