In theory you’re right but bread makes me really hungry later. When I stopped eating bread I stopped getting hangry between meals

I've read that modern "dwarf wheat" has an enzyme that interacts with the same neurotransmitters as opiates, prompting withdrawal symptoms if one doesn't have it again in a few days.

I've got strong source amnesia and am probably misremembering details: maybe it was from "Grain Brain"? [0]? At any rate, my experience has been pretty similar to yours.

shrug I eat a ton of sandwiches and avocado toast and have absolutely no problems with hunger between meals, I usually eat one meal a day.

My hunger level has much more to do with amount of food consumed and timing than anything else.

a ton is a big meal
