Always Hungry After Dinner

Graelwyn75

And no, I am far from undereating. I eat at my TDEE - 20%, which is 1900 calories, and often end up closer to 2000.
I have my macros set to 45c, 30f, 25p, and get 100g + of protein a day. I am 5'10 and 133-135Ibs.
I have large dinners, usually something like chicken breast or baked wild salmon, sweet potato and a large pile of vegetables.
I am wondering if I need more carbs or to increase my fat and lower my carbs as I have noticed when I have a higher fat meal, or have cheese etc, I feel more sated.

I am doing stronglifts twice a week, and 4-5 hours of intense cardio a week.
Just getting a bit fed up of having to eat more before bed because of hunger pains.

Bump.

People might be reluctant to answer because, well, you're 5'10" and 135 pounds. That's already on the low side of normal. Maybe you should go to maintenance, or a little over, and try lifting heavy for a while? There are folks here who have had great results sculpting their bodies while actually gaining a few pounds of muscle.

Hmm... Maybe lower your carbs and increase the fat, yes.

I guess it varies from person to person. Some people are sated on high protein, high fat, some high starch, but for me it's a mix of the three. Maybe ditch the large pile of vegetables and put a small pat of butter or some melted cheese on your sweet potato, or some GY.

Maybe even save up some cals for a bit of dessert - cottage cheese, for example, is a marvellous base for a kind of "ice cream" that can be very sweet, yet a blend of protein and fat for about less than 300kcal (depending on ingredients), and is very satiating.

Actually, I was 126Ibs last year and for a year prior to that and perfectly healthy. My weight is within the normal range. And I am lifting heavy, doing stronglifts. I often go over my calories, hitting up to 2300, so I am not even really on much of a deficit if at all, given most sites can only give a rough general estimate of TDEE and BMR.

I eat a pot of cottage cheese most days, the full fat kind.
I tend to eat a lot of veggies as supposedly, they are required for all the vitamins and minerals, and I love veggies, but I guess they aren't filling for me.
I might try cutting them down and swapping, as you suggest, for more butter on the potato.
