I suspect id depends on why (and how long) you're hungry.

If you're hungry from missing your regular meal, your blood sugar may drop and you feel lethargic.

If you're hungry from fasting, your liver may start producing ketones which our brains seem to like.

I suspect it's your second point. I already maintain a low carb/ketogenic diet which would prevent me from having those crashes.
