> You said it yourself that you were always starving as a vegan.

I meant I was starving in that I always felt hungry, not that I was starving my self. I was never satiated so I over ate.

Capice?

Not being satiated is also a sign of having low calories on a "good" vegan diet.

If you ate 500 grams of raw beans (cooked), having 1.5kg of excrement going through your bowels will leave you quite satiated.

On my plant-only days, whenever I eat that much volume of food to get to 3500kcal (I weigh 220lbs and eat 4000kcal+ on regular days), I am basically satiated after first 2000kcal for the whole day and have to force myself to eat more. This is whole plants, no oils.

Of course, the massive poop next morning makes it worth the trouble :D
