Getting hungry is part of being human. Many cultures eat about three meals each day. In the US, we call these meals breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At each meal, there is often fruit or vegetables, meat or another protein, and something like bread or rice. But what about when your stomach is growling between meals? Many of us like to just grab a bite at these times.
When you grab a bite to eat, you usually have a snack. This isn’t a substantial meal but just something small to keep you feeling good. For example, you might snack on pretzels with mustard, potato chips, or beef jerky. On the other hand, you might prefer something healthier, like an apple, a small salad, or a peanut butter sandwich. No matter what, when your stomach growls, it’s time to grab a bite.

Kelsey wakes up. The car is parked, and Jordin is the only person in it with her. Jordin tells her that Dominique and Andy took a short walk. Kelsey is really hungry, and she asks if Jordin wants to grab a bite. Jordin ate a lot this morning, but she tells Kelsey that she should get some food. Kelsey’s stomach is growling, so she goes to find a bite.
Outside, Dominique and Andy meet Kelsey. Andy’s stomach was also growling, so he bought some snacks. He tells Kelsey that he will share, but she is looking for something more substantial. Dominique says that they are ahead of schedule, so they can stop at a restaurant. This sounds great, but Kelsey also agrees to share some pretzels with Andy.
When did you last grab a bite? Is your stomach growling now?
