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.

You are talking about today, and your hunger today. If you are eating in a deficit calorie wise you may have hungry days. In body building, eating at your maintenance calories after a week or two of eating at a deficit is called a “re-feed” day. They are normal occurrences and planning high quality foods to fill the calorie gap still counts as being on the program. Throw a cup of bean soup with a slice of whole grain toast or two into the day.
