No: If you are not hungry let it go. The last thing you need to do is force feed. Remember most people think hunger pain is actually thirst and the other stomach growling feeling is actually the feeling of losing weight and you should welcome that sensation. Do not replace burned calories with food. That is what teenagers do to gain weight for football.
