Dose my seedling look a little hungry already?

Typically you shouldn't need nutrients in the first few weeks of life. Depending on what soil your using you can go longer. I know with my soil grows I just use a 50/50 blend of Happy Frog and Ocean Harvest. I don't start introducing nutes until around week 5. And even that is light. My opinion is that for vegetative you don't need to force feed it. Its towards the flip and during flower is when i start focusing on nutrients. Plus, you save a little coin in the process. Why waste it?

That's fine, still applies in my book. Anywho, from what I can tell in the photo is that it looks fine. I wouldn't worry too much. Whats the rest of your space like? Tent? Open Grow? Lighting? Average RH in the space? All of those factors need to be aligned as well before you just start dumping nutrients in thinking it'll help.

What exactly are you growing in? If it's coco then some 1/4 strength nutes should be OK. Overall it doesn't look all that bad and should still be feeding off the cotyledons. If a soil mix, I'd wait another week or so, then use the seedling strength suggested by the nute manufacturer.
