I am always hungry as well, I tend to eat 4 to 5 times a day. Three meals and one to two snacks. I am a normal weight though. It may have to do with us having a nutrient imbalance from not being to able to eat all food groups. List everything you eat over a few weeks, look at the nutrients, vitamins, etc and see if your missing any out of your diet.
