0"I was hungry." (Simple Past Tense)
If I want to report your sentence to others such as students, friends whatever, then I would say:
"He/she said (that) he/she had been hungry."
"He/she told me (that) he/she had been hungry."
Based on my understanding to the reported speech rule, we need to change
0He/she said (that) he/she had been hungry. This is correct, but we more often say
He/she said (that) he/she was hungry.
Th context will usually make the sequence of events clear. If not, you can use Past Perfect.
