Being hungry all the time tells me you're not getting enough calories during the day. I find if I eat a small breakfast, I am hungry throughout the day. I would add at least (for example) a piece of fruit and a soy yogurt at breakfast. Or I would have a full multigrain bagel with nut butter and a glass of soy milk. A mid-morning snack would also be a priority - even if it is just a piece of fruit. If you find that doesn't hold you until lunch, something a bit heavier like peanut butter on apple slices could do the trick. Avocados and nuts are good calorie-dense foods that can help keep you full longer. Have a good sized lunch as well. Keep in mind that vegan food tends to be lower in calories so you get to eat more of it (notice I said "get to" - I love to eat!
).

Chances are, you weren't getting enough food. In general, non-vegan food tends to be higher in calories (usually from animal fats) than vegan food. Your body *was* telling you something: eat more!
