fighting post-ride hunger

although I've lost a lot of weight cycling, I think my progress is slower than it could be because I get So Darn Hungry AFTER riding.

that's the weird thing. Even on a metric century or longer I'm fine with the sort of food described in this forum and elsewhere, but a few hours later and often through the following day I'm Really Hungry.

Even following my commute (13m each way) I get the hunger pangs in the evening.

Eating lots of carbs usually does the trick, but then that can easily be hundreds of calories. Strangely, lots of protein doesn't help as much.

what do you do after riding to avoid the munchies?
