Why do I stay full FOREVER??

Hi Everyone!

I'll get right to the point. I have been trying to fit in all of my meals, but I'm never hungry after breakfast...;/ Today I had a typical spanish breakfast eggs and beans and some coffee oh and two slices of wheat bread toast. My portions were regular and I stayed within my calories that I allow for breakfast. I didn't get hungry again until 4pm ?! Sup with that?! Is it because my metabolism is soooo slow? Should I eat anyway? Was it the toast? The beans maybe? My schedule I have set is breakfast at 9am, lunch at 12, mid day snack at 2:30, dinner at 5:30 and late snack at 7:30 (like a yogurt or something).

Oh......wait this may be TMI ;/, but in case anyone is wondering......I use the restroom just fine.

What could it be?

So just eat when you're hungry? Sounds like you're having a pretty big breakfast (and I mean that in a good way). Breakfast SHOULD be the biggest meal of the day and it should keep you full for a long time. For me, I'll eat at 7 and be hungry again at 12. That's just a couple hours less than you.
Also, coffee probably makes you less hungry. It's a good filling breakfast so it makes sense. No point in eating if you don't feel hungry ... I'd say just snack a bit on something healthy during the day and drink water.

Thanks....maybe I shouldn't have ate the toast lol! Yeah, that's what I've been doing just eating when I'm hungry but I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong seeing as it was 7 hrs later

I agree with eating when you are hungry. ME? I have to eat something in the middle of the afternoon or I risk my blood sugar dipping dangerously low. But you don't have that problem.

I just eat when I'm hungry, I noticed before I started dieting I always used to drink soda and eat snacks. Now that I only drink water and eat healthy things it's like I never noticed how much what you eat makes a difference. If I still drank soda I would deff meet my calorie intake or even go over.. But since I dnt it cuts major calories out of my diet. Like everyone else I just eat when I'm hungry

Protein makes you feel full longer and there is quite a lot of protein in your breakfast.

Maybe it would be better just to have small and healthy snacks in between though, so your digestive system doesn't slow down.

Oh, man. Your breakfast made me hungry. Haha!
Yeah, I agree with what everyone here is saying. I'm the opposite, I'm never hungry in the morning so I eat a banana with coffee. But about 3 hours later I'm hungry enough to shank someone. :laugh:

If it works for you, it works! Patterns help you stick with weight loss!

I am so envious of you I'm hungry every couple of hours.. protein seems to make me even hungrier, oddly enough.
