Is "feel starving" grammatically correct?

1.I feel starving and want to eat anything and everything right now.

2. I feel starving now and it smells really good.

I've found these two sentences by googling, but I don't think they're grammatically correct. Shouldn't they be "I feel myself starving " or "I'm starving" ? Just saying "I feel starving" seems to be wrong. But I don't think "feel starving" is entirely wrong, because "starving" is listed as an adjective in dictionaries.

No. You need one of these:

I'm starving. / I feel like I'm starving. / I feel as if I'm starving.

All of them mean I'm very, very hungry.
