Oh man. This is strange but me and my sister were having exactly the same chat today.
She's been vegan for a few years now and I've always commented on how much she eats (yet stays very lean) and since going plant-based/ vegan around 6 months ago I've never not been hungry.
Quite honestly a lot of it is just willpower and not wanting to eat everything in sight. This becomes difficult though when you're exercising 6+ times a week.
The times when you really must eat something look to fruit or other low calory density foods.I also did some reading online that said after around a year that feeling of always being hungry will dissipate.

I'm currently having a bit of a vegan/not-so-vegan crisis.
I've pretty much killed off all meat and dairy from my diet since I started living with my girlfriend, she has been vegan for a long time now and I was happy to try and make the change.
The problem: Since the switchover I am never not hungry, always craving more, which leads to me eating an excessive amount of carbs/junk and feel bloated constantly.
Along with this, I am lacking energy on the bike, to the point I can't be bothered riding, as I anticipate it's going to suck.
Do people recommend a protein supplement? Could this be why I'm hungry all the time!?
