The closest thing I've had to hangry in 18mos on a one-meal-a-day diet was when I didn't have coffee one day, and it resulted in something close to a narcoleptic episode mid afternoon. I'd speculate (albeit tendentiously) whether hangriness was mostly refined sugar withdrawal.
> To assess trait anger, we used the German translation [44] of the Anger subscale from the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) [45], which consists of 6 items (sample item: “I have trouble controlling my temper”) rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (do not agree at all) to 5 (totally agree). Cronbach α for scores on this subscale was .81 (for more details, see S1 Table)
They focused on an "anger" measure at face value without much insight into what anger was.
The useful part of managing "hangry," on OMAD is that you can convert the extra aggression into focus and creativity. The paper calls it "ego depletion," and notably, what they did not find (or state) was increased neuroticism or agreeableness or any of the other big-5 personality traits, and particularly whether people suffering from an excess of these traits experienced relief as a result. While not a cure, managed hangriness via fasting could be an interesting hack for someone with a percieved anxiety disorder. Ironically, when you look at the anecdotal history of cultiness around fasting, it's primarily high neuroticism high agreeableness people who claim to benefit from it, and the increased aggression from fasting gets channeled into offsetting the suffering of an imbalanced personality.
Ater 24+ hours without eating, I'm not hangry, I'm an existential hero on an epic quest for food. It's just a question of attitude. ;)
