Intake of calories occurs for multiple reasons ... Perhaps the most important is the net caloric deficit that begins after the digestion of a meal. As calories are used, the increasing deficit that accrues eventually leads to hunger, food seeking, and food ingestion. This component of feeding may be called "homeostatic hunger" because it reflects a true metabolic deficit, and consumption is aimed at maintaining energy stores.
