RVF,
Need some suggestions on low-carb, preferably protein-rich foods that keep you filled up.
Thx

I have ~150g of mixed nuts (peanuts and cashews mainly, with almonds, walnuts, pecans thrown in) each morning for breakfast, and it keeps me pretty well satisfied until lunchtime. There'd be around 30 grams of protein in that.

I stick to the Atkins Induction and beginning stage food lists, but I still get hungry! I'm 6'2/3 tall, approx 26% BF now, 17 years old, and 190lbs for reference.
I had 7 scrambled eggs for breakfast today (ran out of eggs), rib meat that was left over, a cheese stick scrambled with the eggs, one on it's own, and 2 cups of instant black coffee. Hungry in 2 hours. FML.
I'm not a huge fan of some nuts or homemade salad, either- but I'll eat as much eggs and meat possible.
Do you guys think I have potential to make serious gains? I'd like to build a good amount of muscle and get a military-man style build- decent aesthetics and strong when it matters.

I've been doing a paleo-style high-fat, high-protein, low-carb (<100g/day) diet for the past year now, along with daily intermittent fasting and fasted lifting three times a week, so it's important for me to make sure I get both plenty of protein and nutrients and lots of healthy fats to keep me satiated the rest of the day.

First of all, why are you doing low carbs?
There is no good reason to go this route. Carbs do not create fat and you are actually hurting your overall health by lowering your carb intake.
The reason why you are always hungry could is a variety of factors. Sometimes you think you're hungry when you are actually thirsty. Drink more water.
If you eat lots of small/medium sized meals a day try to eat 2-3 bigger meals instead. If I eat 1200 calories in one sitting I won't be hungry for a long time.
Top appetite suppressors: 1) water 2) coffee 3) almonds 4) an apple 5) vegetables. I munch on baby carrots/celery/almonds between meals and it works for me. Make coffee and use milk and splenda, its very filling and costs you almost no calories.

6 meals a day? Screw that...

Well, from experience, the fastest and most consistent way that I've lost weight was through a low-carb diet. I lose weight very fast, last time I started the diet I lost 7 pounds a week for several weeks until I quit. I'm pretty sure it's from getting a massive calorie deficit with the low carb diet.

This is incredibly unhealthy. You should be losing 5 lbs a month at maximum. Muscle is lost when you lose so much weight as well.

Eat more.
To the OP, I'd eat your regular meals and ladle on a ton of fat. Throw several ounces of bufter in the pan, soak starches in tallow, drink a cup of heavy cream, take several spoonfuls of a nut butter, douse everything in olive oil... Whatever it takes. And fiber is your enemy. It makes you feel full without giving you fuel. So you get hungry two hours later. Ditch the cardboard.
If your diet is fattening you currently, then my advice would change. If it isn't your body simply needs more food to flourish.
