What you describe reminds me a bit of myself. Is it a psychological thing? I used to be hungry all day. I would have breakfast, morning tea, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, and a night snack. Even stuffing myself didn't help. I would get irritated easily when I was hungry and not have a lot of patience. And being too hungry kept me from sleeping at night.
Keto helped a lot with not feeling hungry and the weight but it was too much effort to sustain.
With the weight just spiraling up and myself starting to feel a bit disgusted with myself I decided to try and stick to 3 meals a day and portion control my meals. I have been doing that for about 6 months now and it has helped tons with losing weight. Yes, I'm still hungry most of the day. I look forward to breakfast after having had dinner. I look forward to lunch from 10am. But, the irritation and restlessness coming with being hungry has faded into the background somewhat. Somehow telling myself "tough luck, you are not getting any more food until tomorrow" and sticking with it has really changed how I perceive it. It affects me a lot less and it doesn't stop me from being able to sleep anymore for example. Whereas before it defined me in some way, I couldn't function when I was too hungry. And I still eat shitty fatass meals, but it has become a once or twice a week on the weekend thing.
Just some food for thought. Hah.
