And here are some other ideas that might explain the hunger.

How big is the "big salad"? Never assume you know how big big is when someone says big. Big to me is when I make a salad that fills up a whole salad bowl (not a cereal bowl). I would say my salad is about 10 half-cup servings and holds me until dinner time. Also, I use 1 teaspoon of olive oil and I suppose that helps keep me satisfied too. One cup of beans in the salad and a slice of Ezekiel bread with the salad.

Another idea: When people decide to become vegans they may understand that they need B vitamins like B12. What if they decide to buy B complex instead of just B12? B complex may cause a person to get very hungry. Too hungry! That's what happened to me when I tried B complex many years ago. I had to stop taking this supplement after a short period of time.
