I'm dieting at the moment (mainly trimming down after Christmas, and making some room for a winter bulk routine).
Quite a few times, I've been so hungry that it interfered with my thinking. I had to eat something to get my focus back. Currently sub-10% body fat and a pretty seasoned dieter, so I think I have a fairly good feeling for what's real "hunger" and what's just "craving food".
In 2 weeks I'll switch to a weekly 36 hour fast, but I have no idea how I'm going to deal with the hunger pangs affecting concentration. Maybe, as you say, it is something you can train yourself out of.
