Starving despite high protein breakfast

Idk what I’m doing wrong. I switched from sweet to savory to stop cravings. This has helped but I’m actually just hungry. Btw I also added a handful of bell peppers and spinach to this for volume. I thought reducing carbs would help with avoiding crashes but I’m just snacking on more carbs until lunch time.

I am on a calorie deficit. My TDEE is 2200 and I’m eating about 1700-1800 most days and really struggling to stay there. On a meal plan for lunch and dinner that’s about 400 cals each, pretty macro balanced.

I usually train at 6 am (have dates as preworkout), breakfast at 8 am, lunch at 12:30. I feel like there’s something wrong with me or maybe I just have bad willpower idk. Feeling really hopeless and like I’m never gonna get this right and feel normal. Don’t want to give up but this feels impossible 😭
