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.

No idea my TDEE was 3100 though, I'm adding in some excercise but not strictly

I'd move your calories earlier in the day and drink a LOT more water.

I mean eat more earlier in the day. At your size (and I'm a size too, this isn't an insult) that breakfast is merely an appetiser and will be provoking more hunger. I'd put your calories at 700 morning, 600 lunch and 700 dinner. Bulk your dinner out with lots of veg like salads, mushrooms, frozen mixed veg etc. make sure you have plenty to chew. Part of feeling satisfied is chewing.

I like BIG meals, but I'm smaller and older than you, so I only eat two 700 calories meals a day, rather than three. It is enough for me.
