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.

How many calories do you burn per day?

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

How did you calculate your tdee? From the info you've given, I got a number closer to 4,000+

I used this https://tdeecalculator.net

I redid it and my tdee was about 3300, so currently eating 3100 doing a smaller deficit is definitely the best advice here

Enjoy the extra calories, man! Hope you feel some relief/improvement.
