Good addition there. Eating salt on food definitely stimulates cravings.

I'll also add that excessive salt makes me hungry too. I try and keep all my meals with the natural amount of salt that comes with the food and make sure not to add any extra salt.

As someone who lost 90 pounds 8 years ago and kept it off, yes, carbs make me hungry. Doesn't matter if they are healthy or refined carbs.
Fruits, Sweet potatoes, Brown Rice, etc.
They all make me hungry.
However let's say I eat a 10oz steak with no sides. The steak should be reasonably fatty....to the point where its about 1:1 ratio to the protein. When I'm done with it, I'm no longer hungry for a really long time.

Frankly I'll admit it. I have an abnormal reaction to carbs. I am a food addict.

Unless one goes without food for days in a row, one has never felt real hunger.

Most of what people call "hunger" is just sugar cravings or over production of bile and inadequate water consumption.
