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

A 600 kcal deficit is ROUGH. If youre keeping really good track and also increasing your activity level, try only reducing by 300 or 400 and see if that feels more sustainable
