I'm trying to gain 0.5 lbs a week. I eat about 2600 calories daily my TDEE is like 2400. I'm doing well however I always find myself hungry. I just ate 100g of protein and an hour later I'm hungry again.

    bump it up to 3000 and balance your meals to include carbs, protein, and veggies

    What did you eat that contained 100g of protein?

    Eat a big plate of broccoli with your protein. You won't be hungry.

    And this is absolutely without a doubt 100% real hunger? You are not eating enough..

    Well I get that what you ate was 900 calories, but I am asking is it possible you are not getting enough in general?

    Again, it this identified at 100% true hunger? If it is, you are not enough calories during the day..

    Some people can identify hunger, appetite and thirst.. I am trying to identify that you are truly 100% hungry as this to me equates to not eating enough calories to sustain.

    I suppose you're right. I'll try eating more. I'll ignore calories for now and eat whenever my body wants me to.

    I've literally just started bulking. The difference between my weight in was about 3lbs more. But thats probably water weight.

    What else did you have with the turkey? Everyone has a slightly different macro mix that makes them feel satiated. Lots of people are satiated by proteins and fats, but if I don't have some kind of carb as well, I'll be starving 15 minutes after a meal no matter how much protein and fat I just ate. Start paying attention to when you feel hungry (and what you ate beforehand) to see if you can identify a pattern.

    Add in a bunch of veggies or egg whites or some dairy (like greek yogurt). You just need more volume foods essentially.

    I agree with the recommendations to add vegetables to that meal.
