Hunger problems, i don't get it...?
I'm as thin as can be..unfortunately...i can't gain weight...i eat soo much...my dad tried getting me to join a steak eating contest, and one day i went to a restaurant, i ordered/ate so much that i received a free desert...
the point is, i don't understand why i don't get full
i get tired of eating cereal, i'll eat cereal...and i have to refill the bowl like 3 times....i also can't eat salad without getting full...i'm talking about lettuce (no brainer) lotsa ham and turkey, and everything else, my mom can only eat 2 plates...but i have to get like 4 to be remotely satisfied...
is anyone else like this? yeah, it's probably something i shouldn't post.......

There could be many different reasons why you are not feeling full. Perhaps you are not eating a wide variety of foods, are not eating enough, or maybe you are eating for reasons other than hunger.
Try spacing out your food throughout the day. If you only eat three large meals throughout the day, you may get very hungry in between meals and then tend to over-eat at each meal. Prevent this by adding snacks into your normal meal routine. Just remember to watch portion sizes. Good choices include carrots and dip, apple slices with peanut butter, or baked tortilla chips and salsa.
Another reason why you may not feel full is that there may not be an adequate ratio of carbohydrate, fat and protein in your diet. A diet high in simple carbohydrates does not provide you with a feeling of satiety (or fullness). Protein and fat will keep you satisfied after a meal. Make sure you are getting adequate amounts of protein and fat, along with carbohydrates at every meal. Some good sources of protein include lean meats and cheese, nuts, milk, and peanut butter. Great higher protein snacks include tuna and crackers, cottage cheese or trail mix. Not all fat is bad, so incorporating a limited amount of fat in your diet may also help alleviate your problem. Try to add some “heart healthy” monounsaturated fats like nuts, canola oil, salmon, or tuna.
Adding more fiber to your diet may also satisfy your hunger. It adds bulk and helps you feel full. Include more high-fiber foods into your diet like fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts and seeds. When introducing more fiber into your diet do so gradually and also increase your fluid intake. Some high fiber snack ideas include raw vegetables and low-fat dip, peanut butter on whole-wheat toast, or high fiber cereals.
Could there be other reasons that you are eating instead of actual hunger? People often eat for many reasons other than actual hunger. They eat because they are anxious or bored and need something else to do. Try to listen to your body and figure out if you’re actually hungry. Instead of grabbing a bite to eat, go for a walk, read a book or call a friend.
