[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only exercise a moderate amount (think 25 mins cardio five days a week, plus stretching or strength most days), but I’m famished on my cardio days. [b]Most of my meals are whole grain-based[/b] and I lean into protein (nuts, eggs, beans, lentils, meat or fish a couple times a week). [b]Three meals a day, at least two snacks,[/b] plenty of water. Still hungry! I’ve been trying protein bars lately, and they help a lot with hunger but they all seem so processed.
I don’t see how I can get fuller in a healthy way, and just wonder how people who really exercise a lot manage it. [/quote]

Athletes can eat upwards of 10,000 calories a day and still maintain weight.

The less active you are, the smaller you are, the less muscle you have, the less mental stress you have, the less calories you need.

The bolded parts- 
too much carbs causing insulin swings will increase your hunger. 
Eating that often everyday is counter to your goals, unless you are trying to bulk up and gain muscle mass. You are spiking your insulin levels each time you eat. Try eating two larger meals a day instead, with fewer carbs.
