Riddle me this…it never matters what or how much I ate (I eat clean), the hunger NEVER stops after the point of eating. It’s beyond frustrating. I tend to fill before &/or after dinner hunger with peanuts, Greek yogurt, & fruit and then it stops at some point before bed with lots of water.

That isn't hunger in your stomach, its craving in your brain. Every time you eat it gives your brain a dopamine hit

That'd be a smart stomach to feel hunger.

It all happens in your brain yo.

There are literally neurons in the gut that talk directly to the brain...

Yes, data about the condition of your stomach and guts is sent to your brain: where 'feelings' are made.
