To ask how to manage this insatiable steroid hunger

I am on a course of steroids, have another five weeks left. I am starving, I have never been so consistently hungry. I am planning out my main meals to ensure high protein, good portions without going crazy, and manage to get to late afternoon before I just start eating everything in sight. Dinner does not satisfy me no matter what it is. I am thinking about my stomach constantly, weight is piling on.

I'm not massively worried about the weight as I know it's temporary and can fix this afterwards (annoying that it's in the height of summer and before going on holiday though) but I am struggling to get through the day being so hungry and obsessed with food. I am already daydreaming about the fact I'm in the office tomorrow and can go out to get lunch.

Are there any secret tips to curb this or do I just have to embrace it? Clothes still fit at this point but not sure how much longer that will last.
