No matter what I eat, I am always hungry. I am in pretty god shape, working out 4-5 times
per week and eating well. I follow crossfit, so I have been trying to
follow their paleo-zone diet. It seems that no matter what I eat or how
often I eat, I never get full. I eat alot of vegetables, almonds, eggs,
fruit, meat, etc. Even after I eat 5 eggs mixed with a few slices of roast
beef, with peppers and onions, I am still hungry. I also drink plenty of
water. Is there some kind of problem that I could have? Thanks for your
help.

Welp- it could be a ton of things. You didnt say how many calories you are eating a day, but it sounds like a lot. If you energy is fine, and your weight isnt plummeting, it doesnt sound like any metabolic problem I know of, but Im not a doctor. It sounds like you just may be a fluke (flattering, no?), but if its really bothering you, I’d go to doctor just to check it out.
I can’t help with what it is, but something to think about is what you are eating to try and achieve fullness. Even if they are healthy foods, eating them in large amounts can be unhealthy. Example: 5 eggs is a bit extreme. Aside from the calories, which probably aren’t much of an issue for you (stupid boys) they contain a ton of saturated fat- about 8% of your daily allowance in one egg. 5 eggs is 40% and thats just in one meal.
Worse yet, 1 egg contains 71% of the cholesterol you are allowed in a day- 5 eggs puts you at a whopping 355% of your cholesterol allowance.
Im not dogging eggs- I LOVE eggs and refuse to ever eat just an egg white (what’s the point?) but thats just the example you provided me with. Be careful with the foods you are choosing to try and fill your belly, or better yet head to doctor who can better figure out exactly what’s going on.
