    I sometimes feel hungrier after eating a meal than before starting it. I think this is because it takes time for your stomach to tell your brain it's full and to stop eating.

    Yep.. it takes time for ur stomachache to signal ur brain that u are full. Eat a little slower if u can, use a smaller plate, it tricks ur brain into thinking u have more food than u actually do and make sure u are getting lots proteins

    Assuming you are in fact eating enough. It takes some time for the food to get to the part of the stomach that registers fullness. The absurd feeling we can get sometimes after eating, is not of increased hunger, but in fact just that our appetite has been stimulated and/or digestion has started. Eat your planned meal, wait it out, and pay attention, and in 99 out of 100 instances, you will feel pleasantly full 30 minutes after you've eaten.
