Why do I feel unsatisfied after this very big lunch?

[jennifer_bloom]

I had home made cabbage soup with rice, a microwave patty and a microwave Quesadilla from Costco for lunch today.

My calories seem high but I still want to eat more.

I want to save my cheese, but I ate all my nuts so I don’t have too many protein options now.

Maybe you lack some vitamins or minerals... or maybe proteins.

You should also drink more fluids.

Healthy meal, combined with lots of water, or fresh juice - should solve the problem.

Thank you for MHO

The feeling of dissatisfaction after a meal, despite high calorie intake, can be due to a lack of balance in nutrients or flavors. Cabbage soup and microwaved items might not offer the fullness or satisfaction given by a well-rounded meal. Incorporating more fresh ingredients and a variety of textures can make a meal more enjoyable. I once faced something similar until I realized satisfying meals often include a good mix of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, along with vibrant flavors 🥗🍴.
