She wants more every time I talk to her.

Hello,

"She wants more every time I talk to her."


I know that 'adverb' answer the question of 'verb'. For example, how does she want?"More"

Does it make sense?


"I am not hungry. I've had as much as she has."


I can't distinguish if the bold parts are adverb or pronoun.Could anyone help me?
