Yeah, you could eat more. I'd think all those wet carbs in the zucchini 
might be taking up space in your stomach that should be filled with 
protein and fat. I find more and more I am eating protein-only meals, 
and eating raw veggies and fruit in between for snacks instead of 
trying to do multi-course meals. But for all the working out you're 
doing, I'd see you burning a lot more fat and protein. I used to lift 
every day and race bikes; now I just work out about half an hour daily 
and walk some. I still can eat six eggs in butter in the morning, and a 
pound of meat in the evenings, and not gain at all.

If you're hungry, eat. Try spacing the protein out in snacks if you 
like, and see if you are less hungry that way. But eat fat stuff:) I 
also find raw meat fills cravings better than cooked.
