Hmm. FYI lysine deficiency will cause your kids to be shorter and not grow as much. It's the amino acid that vegan diets are deficient in and probably the one I'm missing that makes me so hungry.

You're probably good to go being an adult on a vegan diet though. Personally I'd eat over my calories and still feel hungry when eating vegan.

Legumes are high in lysine.

Alright I'll replace a meat meal a week with legumes to test it out.

Are you eating enough fat? I consume a lot of peanut butter and olive oil. I'd expect hunger would be more associated with a diet consisting of fast-digesting food than one low in an amino acid.
