Now this sort of makes sense

Lack of protein drives overeating
Humans' instinctive appetite for protein is so powerful that we are driven to continue eating until we get the right amount of protein, even if it means consuming far more energy than we need, according to new research from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre.
That sort of dovetails with this hypothesis. Eat enough carbs and fat, and you won't ever get a high enough level of protein.

But there's also binge eating caused by hypoglycemia.  Even with adequate protein intake.

Bacon and eggs will fill me up.
Bacon, eggs and pancakes will make me hungry all day.
