Is it normal to eat until you're full?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—eating until you feel comfortably full is normal. You don’t have to stop while you’re still hungry, though eating past comfort can leave you feeling unpleasantly stuffed.

Most people use fullness as a cue to stop eating, and how quickly you notice it can vary with things like appetite, how fast you’re eating, and how satisfying the meal is. It’s also normal for your appetite to differ from day to day.

There’s a difference between feeling comfortably satisfied and being so full that you feel uncomfortable. If you often feel distressed or out of control around eating, that’s worth paying attention to—but simply eating until you’re full is nothing to feel weird about.
