How is it EVEN Possible

are you hungry? just because your stomach "growls" doesn't necessarily mean you are needing to eat. maybe drink a glass of water or tea and see what happens. sometimes my stomach makes noises and i'm not hungry at all.

Maybe try adding some healthy fat to your breakfast. An egg with avocado, for example.

I was starving. I was having actual hunger pains, while I was eating. I know I have not had the best logging track, I know this. I am definitly trying harder now with everything; logging, food and exercise.

You have all given me such great advice and I really do thank you.

Breakfasts on workdays are a struggle for some people. I like things I can grab-n-go with or eat in the car on the commute. I've found Kind plus bars to be perfect for these days. 190 calories that plus my coffee with a little milk and I'm good to go until lunch. I particularly love the Cranberry Almond ones.

From your food diary, you've only had around 200 cals for breakfast...plus i see no carbs there!
I would add something like wholemeal toast to that and i reckon you'd be fine.

carbs are not satiating. Fat and protein are.

Add a bunch of vegetables into your eggs. I like mushrooms, spinach, roasted red pepper, scallions because they cook up so fast in the morning rush, but you can always use whatever you have on hand. Because I add so many vegetables, sometimes I can't finish it.

you only ate 203 calories and very little of that was protein. Eat more substantial breakfasts -- whole eggs instead of egg beaters, whole grain bread instead of white, yogurt, milk, veggies, etc. I find that if I eat carbs for breakfast it causes a sugar spike and doesn't sustain me for long. Protein (and a little fat) has much better holding power.

I don't usually eat breakfast, makes me hungrier, earlier. Also, try eating protein. I like Greek yogurt and string cheese, or a protein shake (milk, protein powder, banana). Or eggs.

One thing that struck me is that your breakfast had zero fiber? Try a fiber and protein dense breakfast and your body will take a little more time to digest it. I eat an Ezekial 4:9 English Muffin with peanut butter for breakfast and it keeps me full until lunch. The combo of the muffin and peanut butter has about 10 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber.

If I eat breakfast I am starving all morning, if I don't I am happy, could work for you?

I'm the same. If I eat before 10 or 11 at the earliest I tend to feel sick...but also wicked hungry. And odd combination I'd rather avoid.

I’m exactly the same. Unless I eat a 1000 calorie breakfast, which has been known to happen when I meet with friends for a greasy spoon Sunday morning extravaganza, I get both sick and hungry if I eat breakfast. I’ve gotten into the habit of not eating breakfast and it works great for me.
