    4 or 5 almonds would not work for me it would have to be the whole pack or even 2 packs.I just love them, if they are in the house it is not for long. ;>)

    As you can see in my diary, in eat my first snack around 9:30 in the morning, after eating my breakfast at 6:45. I usually eat protein and complexe carb (scrambled egg whites + sprouted grain bread) for breakfast, then another round of protein and complex carbs for the mid-morning snack (cottage cheese and celery, string cheese and crackers, greek yogurt and fruit, etc.). Then, I feel full until it's time to eat lunch.

    Try having a low GI breakfast, less carbohydrate, sugar, this will not give you an insulin spike and so make you feel hungry. No expert but it works for me.

    This works for me, too.

    Not me.. For breakfast I eat 2 portions of oatmeal with strawberries. According to the GI charts both of these are low. I have this somewhere around 8am and by 10 I am hungry again. MFP was starving me when I first started and since then I have done my own research and have been slowly increasing my allotted calories as well but that also isn't seeming to be having any effect on my hungriness in the morning. I'm currently trying to add a little more fats to my eating as I have been under my 20% macro for some time (and 20% is quite low) so we shall see if this helps - it seems to have been over the past few days but then again my 'weekend' eating is not typical of the rest of the week.
