Appetite is the desire to eat food, typically driven by hunger, though appealing foods can trigger it even when you're not physically hungry. It matters because it helps regulate how much energy your body takes in to meet its metabolic needs, and it's controlled by a complex interaction between your digestive system, fat tissue, and brain.

Unter Appetit (von lat. appetitus cibi „Verlangen nach Speise“, von appetere: begehren, verlangen) versteht man einen psychischen Zustand, der sich durch das lustvoll geprägte Verlangen, etwas Bestimmtes zu essen, auszeichnet. Damit unterscheidet er sich als psychologisches Phänomen von dem in erster Linie physiologischen Gefühl des Hungers. Das Gegenteil von Appetit auf eine Speise ist Ekel.
