    Eggs.

    You need protein. Not carbs!

    Take some string cheese with you for a snack before lunch. Also if you ate an egg with the toast you would get some valuable protein.

    No matter how big a breakfast I have, I am hungry way before lunch. (cuz breakfast is at 6, my lunch break is usually 2pm.) So I pack a healthy snack. I just can't go go go for almost 8 hours with nothing between breakie and lunch.

    Hey all,

    Currently I am having two slices of wholemeal bread with butter for breakfast but my hunger pangs kick in around 11am. The only access I have at work to a quick snack is a vending machine full of temptation so I would rather avoid that!

    What do you guys recommend to keep the hunger away till after 12pm?


    What you are consuming is not a balanced breakfast at all... that is actually more like a snack.

    You need a hefty dose of protein, a healthy fat, you can find ways to incorporate vegetables and fruits...

    I often will make a two-egg omelet with freshly roasted vegetables (I roast up about 25# at at time weekly), Ill throw in some chicken or ham, a serving of cheese and VOILA - a balanced breakfast.

    I often when making dinner will make an additional serving's worth and have that for breakfast the next day...

    Some sort of protein and a handfull of nuts ......most days I have between 100 and 120g of protein (steak, chicken, eggs) and 15 almonds.....

    I cook extra protein the night before, and then have extra to take to work for breakfast....

    Keeps me nice and satiated till lunch time.....

    As a rule I have protein at every meal - really helps with not getting hunger pangs at any time...

    Quaker porridge oats are filling,35g oats and I have them with 2g flaxseed, 10g raisins, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon they are really filling and the health benefits are enourmous!

    Nuts and raisins are always good food to snack on if you are still feeling hungry.

    Shakeology! I have a shake at around 6AM and have no problems throughout the rest of the day. I never have that insane hunger I used to get in the mornings after I workout, and my energy is right for the rest of the day too. I eat two medium meals at work and a decent supper and never feel like I'm going to clean out the fridge. Stuff's expensive but it's great!

    This will keep me full for a while:

    2 -3 eggs scrambled
    1 serving cottage cheese
    2 high fiber toast with butter

    Higher in calories, but it does keep me full for hours! Lunches for me are a little less calories so just as long as I have a big breakfast, I'm usually pretty good.

    The key is snacks. I can not eat a huge breakfast before I go to work. So I keep snacks at my desk. I eat 5 times a day. 6am Breakfast, 9am snack, 12 lunch, 2pm snack, 5pm dinner. I do not get the OMG I gotta eat feeling.

    porridge with water and bananas and eat loads Breakfast is key especially if you are training.

    Carb load and then ease off Protein mainly in the evening.

    If you carb load with high GI foods you wont be hungry.

    Eat nuts or fruit mid morning

    thats my toppy tippies

    you could try a cereal instead of toast, shredded wheat is good.

    i always have a snack at 11am anyway, to keep me going to lunch at 1pm.
