Probably worth adding this. I've never heard it used in the literal sense.

  Comments:
Despite Daijirin seeming to say it means "hunger" as well, I'm inclined to drop the "n". I can't find valid noun uses. I suspect the (low) n-gram counts for ハングリーを and ハングリーが’are coming from terms like ミスターハングリー.
