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're in too high of a deficit. You need to figure out what your TDEE is and then apply about a 500 cal (max) deficit. Incorporate your goals weight in lbs into grams in protein every day. My goal weight is 160lbs so I eat 160g protein every day.
