Meat doesn't cause it (correlation, not causation), excess sugar does.

Meat is satiating, eating protein and fat make you feel full.

Sugar causes fluctuations in insulin levels that make you hungry even when your caloric needs are met. Excess sugars go to the body's reserves of glycogen until they are full, then they must be used or converted to fat for storage. This insulin-driven fat storage is the problem and the solution is to eat much less sugar to break the cycle. Allow your body to use your glycogen reserves so it has room to temporarily store the next meal rather than sending it to semi-permanent fat storage. Exercise helps this balance by using up reserves but "you can't outrun your fork".

Edit: nutritionfacts exists explicitly to promote a plant-based diet. They may be a good source for information but that bias must be considered.

We also disseminate fact-based information through social media on the benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet for wellness, disease prevention, healthy weight management, and longevity
