The right part looks like 我 character (me), and the left par is the radical 饣(food). Which I associate with I want food; this helps me remember the meaning of HUNGRY.
one can either look at it as the food radical with 我 meaning me or I… so food and me, together meaning hunger. Or the food radical with a hand and a dagger which is ready to kill for food because of hunger.
how i memorize this character: left hand side is the food radical, and right hand side of this character is “我“, so it reminds me of “me” being in a “restaurant”, and when i am in a restaurant i am usually hungry.
The way I remember the character for Hungry 饿 is by thinking of it in two parts on part is the radical for food 饣and the character for me 我. so if there is food 饣right next to me 我 then of coarse I must be Hungry 饿。

The radical for food is beside what looks like 我 -I/me- so it seems like you are saying “I want to be close to food” aka I am HUNGRY.
Elise Tucker says
I remember this character because it has the word 我 which means me, and then the radical for food, so I often just associate it with “I want food”.
