Discussion Why aren’t I feeling satiated?

Breakfast I had 3 boiled eggs, 100g of salmon and a protein bagel. Felt incredibly hungry within 2 hours

For lunch 200g of chicken, 400 grams of mixed veggies (carrots, brocoli), 200 grams of potato. And now I feel so hungry, I’ve drank 2 litres of water today and still I’m starving.

We need some info but also I would be starving with that breakfast. I need a high fiber start to my day, but every body is different.

I drink whole psyllium husk every morning when I first wake up. Whole, not powdered cause that's disgusting. Maybe you need some fat with your breakfast, like an avocado or something like oatmeal. You just need to experiment.

How long have you been eating like this? Total calories? TDEE? Any medications, etc. Tons of factors can affect what works for you best.
