1 week today. Feeling HUNGRY!

I am feeling very good today on my 7th day of no smoke.  I am using NRT patches at the highest level of nicotine and having very few serious craves, experiencing the crazy dreams and difficulty sleeping that they warn us about, and generally having a pretty predictable quit.  HOWEVER I did not expect that I was going to be this hungry.  I feel almost insatiable in appetite.  My best strategy seems to be lots of clean protein - chicken mostly, or eggs and cheese, and hot salsa to get my tastebuds all worked up.  I hope this passes quickly - I have gained about 3 lbs already in this 1 week, and I cannot continue this pace of weight gain.  Does anybody have any expreience with this?
