    You might need protein.

    I would say you are probably not getting enough protein and/or fiber...both tend to help a person feel full.

    I'm always hungry at night, so I eat at night. So if you're hungry at night or whenever try adjusting accordingly.

    Then try looking at your macros, mainly protein. I find if I don't eat enough protein then I'm hungry.

    I eat 2800 cals and I am full and I'm a lot bigger than you and if I didn't eat as much protein as I do I'd be starving.

    I do 35% protein, 35% carbs, 30% fat.

    I am permanently hungry :-(

    I get enough protein, and lots of fibre, but have recently had to cut back by 150 cal per day as weight suddenly skyrocketed despite keeping net calories the same. Trying to balance it for the right rate of weight gain is a pain.

    Protein is the key to weight loss and muscle build up. You should also consume high protein within 30 minutes of working out. Use MFP to monitor you protein. 3 ounces of chicken is 20 grams. You have to eat a lot to get the 100 to 120 grams of protein a day.

    100-120g of protein is way too low in my opinion, I think he should be eating at least 180-200g on a rest day and 220g on a training day, 300-350g of carbs and about 90-100g of fat, thats plenty of calories for a grown male to use to gain weight and build him some muscle :)
