hungry after meals

[SkinnyGuy84]

for some reason i can eat a a good size meal consisting of a high protein source(chicken, beef, ect.) and some veggies and maybe a potatoe or something and be full for about 20mins then i start to feel hungry again. the only way this doesnt happen is if i eat a really fatty meal. can anyone tell me why this happens?

Well, you are skinny right? It would only be a problem if you were overweight and hungry.

Calculate your BMR and caloric intake, you may/probably do need to eat more often.

lol yea im skinny but i thought it took like 45mins for food to digest it just seemed weird that i was hungry after eating full meals

Do you only eat 3 times a day?
Are you eating low glycemic carbs? Oatmeal, Wheat bread, Brown Rice, Yams.

Because pasta, white rice, and white bread will leave you feeling hungry soon after.

Fat does help you feel full longer. I wouldnt eat fatty meats (clog your arteries) even if your skinny. Instead skinless chicken breasts, egg whites, fish, turkey breasts, and extra lean beef. I would use Olive, Peanut, or Seseame oil while cooking. This should help you stay full. Many ppl take 1 fish oil supplement tabs 3 times a day with meals.

You may not be eating enough. Like he said.

broccoli usually makes my farts smell really bad, but hey, i dont care i like broccoli and if it will help, oh well, it just sucks for whoever is around me afterwards

NYCMitch is right on. Don't be afraid of fats-just make sure it's healthy fat and low GI carbs. Potatoes (white, russet, idaho) are high GI--replace with sweet potatoes/yams.

If you want more help calculate your BMR and post your diet and we can help more--it sucks to be hungry all the time!!

its kinda hard to post my diet because i eat all kinds a food, right now im working on eating as clean and as much as i can, im eating mostly high protien foods and gettin some carbs in there too. i have done a lot of reading on this site about what a good weight gaining diet would look like and im trying to follow that.
