    I have a question about breakfast. I have NEVER been a breakfast person...really just a coffee person. :drinker: I have been told over and over (for months now) if you eat breakfast, it starts your metabolism, you eat less later, etc... However, when I have tried to eat breakfast, it has backfired in my face. I understand the science and logic behind it, but does anyone know why I am not having luck with breakfast? Some examples of the breakfast foods I was eating are oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, and toast. I do love eggs, so occassionally, when time allowed, I would eat those also. But again, whenever I eat breakfast I tend to get hungrier sooner. Help!!:sad:

    I too, must take all of my food for the day (7-4) to work with me. Last night I made myself an omlette to bring- I was sooo proud of myself. It really *is* all about planning.

    So this morning I started my day w/ a 6 almonds, and then had coffee w/ sugar free creamer, a 2 egg omlette cooked in a bit of natural grapeseed oil, w/ 1 slice of smoked turkey and 1 pc of sargento lite string cheese, and 1/2 sliced tomato on the side. It was delightful to say the least. It was so good I felt like I was *cheating*!!!!

    Pirate - I'm the same. If I eat breakfast, I get hungrier sooner... I never used to eat breakfast at all.... Now I've given in a little, by eating something, if not much. I have my main meal at the end of the day, but it's not so bad because I do my exercising mainly first thing in the morning. Think you gotta work with what you got. lol

    Breakfast on most days for me, is a Penguin Big Stix... basically 2 long thin chocolate penguin biscuit bars (but without the chocolate cream in the middle). 130 Calories. Lovely with a cup of tea. :happy:

    Coffee w/ sugar-free creamer for starters at around 7:30 a.m.
    Blueberry Lemon Oatmeal Muffin (mmm, mmm,mmm!)
    A few almonds.

    At 9:30 or so,
    1/2 frozen blueberries w/ a T of sugar free creamer (out of yogurt)
    1 Sargento's lite string cheese.

    It really pays to think ahead to the next day... I'm missing my omelette this morning. That will teach me! :happy:
