Hi Hà Thu,

Chris is right your sentence doesn't make any sense unless 'avoir faim' is the result of something which happened in the past or happens on a regular basis like -

J'ai toujours faim parce que je ne mange jamais rien pour le déjeuner = I am always hungry because I never have any lunch

Hope this helps!

If you want to say: I am hungry because I didn't have lunch, I would translate it like this:

J'ai faim parce que je n'ai rien mangé pour le déjeuner.

But there are several other options as well.
