why am I always hungry?

Totally agree with what everyone else is saying on here. I have a few other suggestions if you fix the protein intake issues and still aren't losing:

1 - Get your thyroid checked. An under active thyroid can cause weight gain

2 - check your birth control. I used to be on the Marina and was constantly hungry no matter what. Came off of hormonal contraceptives and the appetite diminished.

3 - Lifestyle - Are you stressed? Stress will make you hold onto weight and being unhappy can effect your will power when it comes to making the right choices.

Lastly. Your body needs nutrients. If you're eating a diet high in calories but low in nutrients then it makes sense that your body may keep telling you to eat in the hope that it will receive some of the nutrients it's after. Try the apple test. When you're hungry grab an apple. If you don't want it then it's probably an emotional issue causing you to turn to fod.

Good luck!
