    My day starts around 6am so I understand early breakfast. i found what fills me up is a low cal wrap (50) with 2 tbsp peanut butter (190) spread on it and a banana inside the wrap (90-130) about 300-350 cal depending on product selection

    well oatmeal helps me stay full longer or more protein. I get really hungry between breakfast and lunch too and I just gave in and started packing a yogurt, cottage cheese, some fruit ect! Good Luck!

    my body does best when i eat 100-200 calories every 2-3 hours and drink my water. (i'm female so males might need more calories, i dont know.) this is what my fitness coach recommends for all of his clients, and it has worked well for all of us as far as i know.
    some people need protein at certain times during the day, which can be found in many different greens so you aren't taking in too many calories.

    Make your afternoon snack a fruit or some beans & you're all good until lunch time! A typical Monday or Thursday (based around my classes) is:

    Breakfast at 5:30 -- Banana at 10:30 -- 1/2 cup of beans at 12:00 -- Apple at 3:30 -- Gym at 5:00 -- Rest of beans after gym at 5:45 -- Dinner at home at 8:30 -- 30DS/ dance -- Post-workout-replenishing snack (usually apple slices with peanut butter) -- Bed at 9:45

    It distributes my food throughout the day so I'm not starving, keeps my metabolism running, & best of all I remain under my daily caloric goal! Feel free to have that snack honey, it's perfectly fine :)

    P.S. -- If I didn't get home so late, I would be doing my 30DS/ dance practice much earlier & eating more calories at dinner, therefore cutting out my post-workout-replenishing snack entirely (because dinner would be the replenisher). Base it around how you work as an individual!
