super hungry if I eat breakfast

You have to eat regular snacks as well as meals....my schedule is like this...7am eat breakfast....generally around 430 calories....eat something hearty like oatmeal....add fruit as well....then by 10 or 10:30 I have a snack....fruit or almonds....then 12 is lunch...about 300-350 calories....then around 2 I have a small snack and then sometimes again at 3 or 4....2 small snacks spread out since there is a bigger gap for me between lunch and supper....then supper is around 6 and is generally around 300-350 calories....then sometimes a snack around 7:30ish....I used to NEVER eat past 7 but if I am going to bed more than 2 hours after the snack, that is how I guage it....

It depends on how many calories you are allowing yourself per day as well....and make sure you are eating enough calories....

No, people do not "have to" eat like this or have snacks. I personally do better with just 3 meals a day. IF works for others. There was a time I'd do 2 large meals per day & was happy. Depends on the person. This is working for you, so keep at it.

I have noticed that how soon I am hungry really depends on WHAT I eat, and I dont just mean the amount calories. If I eat cold cereal and milk I am hungry again in less than two hours. I found that I need to give my body protein in the morning to keep it happy and typically stick to greek yogurt mixed with fresh fruit. Eating this will keep me full until 1:00pm, even through a workout. Try different foods and see what works for you, everybody is different!

I notice the same problem if I eat a high carb breakfast. If I keep the breakfast on the lower carb side, I don't get hungry until at least lunch time. Supposedly breakfast kick-starts your metabolism so I wouldn't recommend skipping it. If you are eating a bowl of cereal or mostly bread & fruit in the morning, that may be what's causing your too-soon-hunger. For example, for breakfast I generally eat a 3 egg omelet made with 1 whole egg & 2 egg whites with 2 pieces of 100% whole grain toast. It's around 240 calories. If I eat a bowl of cereal & a piece of fruit instead - it's the same calories -but I'm climbing the wall within 2 hours looking for something to eat. I would give a lower carb breakfast a try before deciding to skip that meal.

Totally agree with the few PPs, just eat protein and low carb and you are good until lunch, even late lunch.

Things that help keep me full are cottage cheese with fruit, anything with side of an egg. or eggs in general. Sausage helps too, but that kills you in the calories, sodium, fats etc...

Things that make me hungry right away no matter how much of that I eat in the morning include: oatmeal, cereals (even with milk), toast, and the worst: pancakes! I must say I am intrigues by the chia seeds and other things people list, maybe those would help with this second list of foods that just make me hungry.

I also have this problem. So my breakfasts are 100-150 calories or less. Usually a piece of fruit. You're not alone.

YOu need to eat breakfast to kick start your metabolism and thus start the fat burning process. We need to eat three proper meals a day and have at least a couple of snacks in between. If you feed your diet properly you will lose weight easily. You need to eat during your active hours when you are burning it off NOT at night when you sit down and store it as fat because you go to sleep.

I am not a breakfast Person. I usually eat maybe like a small homemade pumpkin waffle or toast with pb and banana at around 10. Breakfast is just not my meal. I like my coffee in the morning though!

I do tend to make a mean green juice or a smoothie in the mornings I get nutrients that way ink a blast that make me feel great and keep me moving till l inch at 2

as for the high protein high car bcomments for breakfast..

when I was eating breakfast I was housing down one to to servings of oatmeal AND four eggs and four egg whites and was still starving by 10:30....maybe it is just me but that did not work for me...

The key for me isn't the protein, its almost certainly the fat - nonfat yogurt didn't work nearly as well as full-fat dairy in the morning.

I find myself very full after a small meal..But at the end of day I have remaining calories. Do I still eat to complete my calorie intake? I am clueless now

I found i was so hungry by 10:00 aslo. Until someone told me to eat protien of some kind. I had a huge egg white omlette with green peppers, onions and mushrooms. I was stuffed and stayed full right up until lunch.

When you eat breakfast you're boosting your metabolism for the day, which is a good thing. I would not recommend on skipping breakfast but bring a snack for when you're hungry. I normally eat every 2 hrs with my first meal at around 545am - 6am and my second meal (or snack) at 8am.

With all due respect, I disagree. Meal timing and metabolism are not related..

I concur. I dont eat until 10am or later because i am not hungry. My metabolism is fairly high- once i do start eating i am hungry every 3 hrs so i make that first meal protein-laden (greek yogurt)

I definitely would not skip breakfast but as others have noted wait till 10A. Also for that "breakfast" meal make it a protein with 1 cup of warm water and or coffee; this will slow your digestion and give you nutrition until lunch. You can skip breakfast but what you will be doing is bypassing the insulin that is in your system and may wind up with a head ach by the time you eat your next meal. It also depends on your age as to what you should eat when. If you are younger then these insulin changes may not have an effect on you (at least not now) but will set you up later for deficiencies. Breakfast should always be a naturally high fiber 100% grain carb with a high protein to feed you through. This is why as another person mentioned his Greek Yogurt gets him through his morning. Greek yogurt, a boiled egg or handful of coca roasted almonds is so beneficial right around 10A. Use this rule Breakfast like a king, lunch like a peasant and supper like a pauper. There are several hormonal changes and adjustments however, please take caution that men are different than women and age matters...do not do anything now that will adversely affect success in the future.
have a great time and yes eat what you love

Eating protein in the morning will help you stay full longer. If I skip breakfsat I don't hit 1200 calories a day. So I have to eat it. Hard boiled eggs with avocado (on a lettuce leaf! YUM!) and toast with jam most mornings and my coffee. Carbs and protien. I'm never hungry though. I do eat every 2-3 hours on weekdays, but it's becuase I sit at a desk and remind myself too. I make shakes soemtimes too adding flax seed to them really fills me up. I stopped with the protein powder, because I stopped losing weight when I started using it. 1st step to heath is to get this weight off.

Weekends are all over the place.. I miss my goals more on weekends then on weekdays. Because I skip and I'm not home to eat as often and my guy and I are on totally different meal shecudles, so I end up trying to eat when he's hungry instead of when I am. which means I don't eat much OR I eat way to much and it's never as healthy as my own food.

I subscribe to the breakfast is important mentality.. it is for me at least.. but if you're going ot eat it, eat something substancial. Otherwise it really doens't do anything for you, but add calories to your day.
