Why my appetite has increased ?
I am 24 years old girl with 47 kg weight slim body type. Recently since I have changed my job (3 months ago ) I feel more hungry .My job timings are 10:30 to 7:30 .I wake up at around 7:45 or 8:00 am then I do some cleaning tasks at home after that i have stuffed chapati & tea in my breakfast around 9:45 am. I have my lunch at 1:00 pm then I start getting hungry around 5:30 something. At that time I have 1 banana , cornflakes with chopped tomato & chopped onion . When I dont eat something in evening time it feels like I have 0 energy in my body .I have to compulsorily eat something .Besides that i am fighting my PICA discorder.
My appetite has increased.

This good sign I think. There is a chance to gain some extra weight. The better solution is to take some other foods to prevent your appetite.
Hmm, you may have some deficiencies which could be associated with PICA and also increasing your appetite.
The new job could have caused some added stress and/or anxiety, which could be a factor.
You should be checked for deficiencies, like iron, hemoglobin, zinc and also totally rule out anemia, all of which imbalances are rather common with PICA sufferers.
You caloric intake could be a bit low for the energy you spend.
Eating a healthy snack in the evening would probably help with your lack of energy and any possible hypoglycemia.
Is your nutrition properly balanced with adequate protein and fats?
If you want to detail all your daily meals (including approx portion size, fats used etc.), I could offer you some more insight.
Best wishes,
Niko

Please tell me some foods which can increase my iron & zinc .Although I don't feel any lack of energy or weakness but still I will get my blood test done.
You mentioned: 'When I dont eat something in evening time it feels like I have 0 energy in my body"
Pumpkin seeds are very high in Zinc, seafood, chick peas, yogurt, spinach nuts and meat.
Most of these are good sources for iron as well sardines, lentils, black beans, organ meats etc. are good food sources for iron also.
You also need to ensure you're getting enough healthy fats in your meals, which would sustain you for longer and possibly curb somewhat your increased appetite.
