I need meat

I also feel it necessary to point out that this is just an example of an ongoing issue for at least a decade. If I have a salad with eggs and cheese, I'm empty. I add an ounce of Ham or turkey to it, I'm full. Don't even talk to me about soy. This isn't just a Lean Cuisine issue - this is an everything without meat issue.

It could be that the protein content of the meat meals is simply higher and thereby more satisfying for you. Have you tracked protein content of the meals to see if that is the reason?

It could also be psychological, which would be a little harder to prove.

the lean cuisine is definitely a little light for a whole meal without something else (Even if you are on 1200 calories a day 230 for lunch is too low IMO - I'd rather eat a lighter dinner than lunch because i have less caloric output after dinner than i do lunch so i need the fuel. In my case i usually keep breakfast the smallest though in the sub 300 range. If you are going to eat sucjh a small serving why not bulk it up with a good chunk of salad, or have a salad with chicken breast or Hard boiled eggs as an alternate (

Yeah those are convenience meals, not very nutrient dense. This has nothing to do with needing meat.

Your body doesn't know if you got your protein and calories from eggs or meat. Sounds like youve convinced yourself.

Think it could be psychological?

I know some days if I wanted pizza, I couldn't be satisfied until I had pizza.
