An hour later, whether I've added those things or not, my stomach is growling and howling at me. What I fix is 1/2 cup oats with 1 cup water. Should be plenty if it's as satisfying as everyone says.

Well, there's the problem. It's sticking to the wrong place!

Perhaps there are two subjects under discussion here:
1. What is satisfying (filling, satiating) at the time of the meal?
2. What keeps hunger away for more than two hours?
They are not necessarily the same. I can fill myself up on fruit and vegetables, but hunger returns in a short time. I can fill myself up on potatoes (or even heavier roots such as sweet potatoes) and hunger returns later than for vegetables alone.
