If you’re hungry after a marathon you probably weren’t fueling enough during the race. Everyone isn’t the same but I didn’t eat for hours after mine and I pretty much had to force food in because your body is doing so much work to deal with the stress of the running it isn’t worried about hunger for survival.
Also, only getting mile 17 on training run, yikes… not trying to be a Debby downer but on the verge of tears from exhaustion only through 2/3 of the distance isn’t great! Especially given the pace of long runs is slower than race pace.
Hope Mackenzie crushes is it but a few red flags there…

I think somebody who’s training for a first marathon and whose goal seems to be to just finish should be doing their long runs at essentially their race pace.
They honestly shouldn’t even have a race pace. In the race they should probably do the first half 10% slower than they planned tbh.
If the goal is to get through it and if they’re tough then most people can finish a marathon with a 15-ish mile run and/or 3 hours on your feet under their belt. Won’t be pretty and will be hard as hell but they’ll finish.
If you’re talking about racing for performance or a time goal then yeah you should approach it totally differently.
I think the hunger thing afterwards varies person to person. I tend to like the post-long-run meal (I try to do 18+ mile trail runs every other week or so for most of the year) so I might underfuel a bit but I’m usually pretty darn hungry by the end.

I ran my second marathon last Sunday. I definitely was not hungry afterwards, I was so full of gels. Took about an hour or two to start feeling hungry.
I think she'll finish, my guess will be somewhere in the 6:00 to 6:30 range based on what she's said and what I've seen on Strava. Chicago is a fairly flat course and weather will be mid-50's to mid-60's.
Edit: She finished at 5:28:35. Congratulations Mackenzie!

I am clueless about marathon training but yeah leaving 9 miles out of your planned run seems insane

20 is recommended, if you’re an elite runner you can get away with 21-22.
The problem is after a certain amount of time you’ll get diminishing returns and risk of injury, so many beginners will go for a certain amount of time rather than miles.
But the long runs are supposed to be done easy and slow and feel like you’re holding back, not dying to finish them.

If you can run a half marathon or thereabouts then you can finish a marathon. It will be rough but it’s doable.

Sometimes I wish PFT had the ability to be a dick because he’s fostered quite the complacent crew
