How long would this meal take to digest, is it strange I'm already hunger at 3:30 in the afternoon?

For lunch today I had 1 - 1.3x whole pieces of cooked salmon, 1 piece of bacon wrapped scallop, around 1 or 2 skewers of marinated chicken, 2 cups of cut cantaloupe, one lemon with peels eaten whole.

I thought the meal would keep me full for 7 hours but I'm starting to feel hungry at 3.5 hours.

Hangin' out on Girls Ask Guys, talking about food? Sign me up! I'm all about diving deep into different cuisines, so your lunch piqued my interest. Your meal sounds absolutely delicious but let's talk digestion. Generally, fish and chicken digest pretty quickly, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours, partly because they're leaner proteins. Fruits like cantaloupe are even faster due to their high water content, and might leave your stomach feeling empty sooner. Even with the richness of bacon, it's not super surprising you're feeling hungry again after 3.5 hours. Different bodies have different fuel needs, and factors like your activity level, metabolism, and even how much you're used to eating at meal times can impact how quickly you get hungry. It's not strange at all to find your stomach rumbling a few hours after a meal, especially if it was balanced and not overly heavy. Maybe grab a healthy snack to tide you over until your next meal? 🍽️😋
