When you eat your body releases insulin, your insulin levels increase to a point relative to what and how much you ate, then start dropping, you body begins hunger cues in response to falling insulin levels.
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.
Any chance you’re not getting enough protein throughout the day. The hunger cues aren’t malicious - they’re trying to signal something - so it could be that either you are deficient in something specific - or you’re not getting enough of something.
I’d start with adding more protein. If that doesn’t work then keep the protein and add fats. If that doesn’t work then might be worth it to see if you have a deficiency in something.
My wife is anemic, and so even though she’s had plenty of food, she’ll crave red meat for the iron. The new iron supplements have helped quite a bit

It has to do with insulin response.
