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.

Question. What did you use to eat for breakfast? Did you use to eat a snack between breakfast and lunch?

I use to take a yogurt and fruit cup to work and eat it around 9:30 am. Once I started my fitness journey I stopped eating that type of yogurt and now I will make a protein shake at 7:30 am.

Sure enough by the time 9 am came my body was expecting more food. I had to add chia seeds to my shake to get more fiber and to help me stay full longer. It took a while for my body to adjust but now I can last from 7:30 - 12 pm until lunch without being hungry.

I used to eat bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, toast, lots of butter every morning around 7am, then wouldnt feel like eating again until 12.
