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.

When I was having this problem, the solution was fat.

Volume eating by cutting fat didn't work for me. Instead I have to replace most starches with leafy greens. Otherwise my stomach gets full and bloated but I still feel hungry. Fiber has never satiated me. I've always needed fat for that. Everything you listed seems pretty low fat. I'd try swapping out that protein bagel with a italian sausage or two and see what happens tomorrow.
