I am hungry!

Okay, so here I am feeling good about my whole30 when suddenly hunger hits me hard. I've done some vigorous exercise today so my metabolism is probably in high gear. The problem is, I've already had the food I prepared for myself today! Breakfast shake and an apple in the morning, larabar and a banana for a post swim snack, mixed nuts and an orange for a post group kick snack, spaghetti squash/carrots/and almond butter for lunch. I mean, what more can I eat without over doing it on fiber? I have two hard boiled eggs and another apple for dinner (Which isn't much of a dinner but when you're eating in the car on the way to job#2 you have to be selective). I just feel like lately I've only been eating nuts, fruit, tuna, eggs, and larabars. Now that I'm hungry what am I supposed to do? I can't double up on nuts because that's too much fat! I can't double up on fruit because that's too many calories. I can't double up on veggies because then I feel bloated and gassy! Also, I can't just snack on eggs and tuna, those items are reserved for my meals. I tried to eat consistently throughout the day today to feel satisfied but here I am, an hour before I have another class to teach I'm ready to rip open another larabar. This is the part of the whole30 when it gets tricky. I'm running off of the same foods but I'm finding that I'm not staying full. I guess Coconut Cream is my option...I just hate to have two larabars in one day when I already feel like I've eaten so much. I mean truly, look at my diet today. Shake, Apple, Larabar, Banana, Orange, Nuts, Carrots, Almond Butter, Spaghetti Squash w/ 1/2 turkey sausage. I guess I could eat my eggs now because I'm realizing I'm lacking major protein. Suppose it's an apple and black coffee for dinner tonight :/ Oi vey.
