Ruining my day, starting in the morning.

I have started making smoothies with greek yogurt, banana, strawberries, and milk for breakfast. It helps me stay full in the morning. I need to eat breakfast because if I don't I end up with headaches and binge the rest of the day.

You may want to add a large glass or two of water in the morning. It may be that you are dehydrated. Also, I eat cherrios with a fruit for breakfast. Low on calories with skim milk and very filling!!!!!!!!

I HAVE to eat breakfast, so I drink 2 glasses of water first then try to get in a good spread of carb/pro/fat so I feel full longer.

Today I did 2 glasses of water then 2 apple cinnamon rice cakes with almond butter and a protein shake made with skim milk. I EAT A LOT, and that lasted me through lunchtime when I ate 2 servings of almonds. I have a lot of calories left today, but if I didn't I'd put in workout to get more to eat back. Almonds are a good way to "get through" without burning all of your calories up. I could live on cinnamon roast and butter toffee flavors.

I'm all about food- I never go hungry.

Hope this is helpful...

My calorie "budget" is 1520. I also "borrow" from other days.

Veggies! I have school very early in the mornings so the night before I make my breakfast like so:

1 cup chopped broccoli.
1 cup chopped carrots.
1 cup raw spinach.
1/4th cup kidney or gabanzo beans

Boil all of that together and then top it off with two scrambled eggs. It's so good, so filling, and is only about 250 calories! I know that eating vegetables in the morning is a little weird but I have come to love it. I feel that if I start my day with veggies and protein I feel much better throughout the day than if I have grains.

And there are so many different types of vegetables that you'll never get bored! This morning I had butternut squash instead of carrots (and it was sooooo good!)

But yeah; that's my advice. I wish you luck in your journey!

There has certainly been a wide variety of opinions for you to choose from.
Some things to take into consideration- breakfast may be a choice, but you do want to be careful about balancing your diet, exercise, sleep, etc so that you don't experience any hypoglycemic symptoms. I am not always a breakfast eater myself, and used to avidly say I didn't need it, but I did find eventually that I feel better over the course of time if I eat breakfast regularly.

I personally divide my day up into calories allowed per meal. I plan for three 400 calorie meals over the day. This keeps me from overeating at one meal and not having calories left for dinner. If you tend to be a snacker, you can also plan for smaller meals and adding in snacks.

You may find that initially you will still be hungry after breakfast if this is smaller than usual, but your body will adjust- and really, most of us trying to lose weight tend to find themselves hungry anyway!

I certainly advocate for protein, carb, etc balance as well, but think that something different works for everyone!

I wake up starving as well..try chugging some cold water right away, then wait a little bit before you eat. That has helped me start off with smaller meals.
