What does it mean when you've eaten but are still hungry? I've been feeling this way for about...

Sounds like you need to add more protein and healthy fats so you feel more satisfied

Stop eating all carbs, or eliminate as many as you can , ditto for sugar.

Eat clean proteins and good fats (this should be the mainstay of your diet)
Also, eat fresh veggies, fruits and berries. Zero processed foods.

This is the way to have stable energy and you should, hopefully feel 'full' ... When I eat carbs i.e. pizza, it's like I can eat the entire dang thing and still in a bit, I will feel hungry.

( I can't link you to the scientific articles now, but there are many.)

Your body could be lacking in the nutrients those foods contain. You cold also be low on iron or B12. If you’ve been more active than usual recently, that could be it. Another possibility is that you are subconsciously stressed and are craving food because of “emotional eating”. Emotional eating is how people cope with the feelings they are not analyzing and facing. @iamnikki

Carbs don’t sate hunger well. Eat protein or cheese if you don’t have protein. Also eat high fibre fruits and vegetables. If you eat carbs eat whole grains which are higher in fibre . Butter on bread is more filling. Avocados are high in fat and also very filling.

Yikes. If you're very active and burning a lot of calories, it may be nothing to worry about. However, if not, it could be something more serious like diabetes or hyperthyroidism. Best get it checked out by a doctor if it continues.

Odd...are you sure it isn't nervous or bored eating?

Sorry not being a vegan or vegetarian myself, I cannot relate to your question.

Usually for me it means my blood sugars are low and I’m not getting enough carbs

The reasons are limitless.
