Perhaps you body is asking for a bit extra at the moment. It may be the weather, or you may be fighting off an infection, or tiredness, or more activity?
Maybe you need to tweak your ratios for a bit. I am slowly learning to distinguish between carb/bg 'cravings' and honest-to-goodness requests by my body for certain nutrients. But I am a slow work in progress.
I can understand how adding carbs will increase hunger (although I am surprised that salad and veg do this for you), but my answer would be to either increase to fat and protein a smidge, to compensate, or to add another meal or snack during the day, to increase the intake of fat and protein.
I appreciate that you have a personal situation where you restrict saturated fat.
Is it just animal fats, or do you feel the same about coconut oil?
There have been a few occasions where I have found that topping the meal off with coconut yoghurt ticks all sorts of boxes. Especially with a square of 70% choc and a raspberry on top.
Another option would be a Kristin friendly version of my coffeesubstitute and cream drink. I use this as a meal replacement sometimes. Of course I use roasted chicory and double (heavy) cream, but you could go real coffee and coconut oil, or cocoa powder and almond oil. The addition of peppermint, or caramel, or orange essences can make it into a real treat, without adding carbs.
I forget whether you are OK with nuts, but that is another way to tweak the ratios.
