What do you eat between breakfast and lunch?

A breakfast sandwich and coffee. Not a large one but a little one. Some toasted English muffin, a little cream cheese (I don't use mayo because it's gross to me.), some scrambled egg, 1 sausage patty, and some hasbrowns. That might seem large but I eat a small first breakfast and I tried just eating a small snack like a banana or peanuts but my metabolism burns through those in under an hour (and with my schedule I can't small meals every few hours.)

it's too early to eat when i get up, for me, so i tend to eat my porridge at my desk around 9.30 ish and then have a black coffee at 11am

that sees me through until lunch and makes the gap between food shorter

on the weekend i will have breakfast around 10.30 ish if i am out and about or normal time if i am at home

I eat every 3ish hours so always have a snack before lunch. It varies, depending on what i have at home. Today I'll have a rice cake with 2tbsp of almond butter with sliced strawberries on top.

Trail mix that I make and portion out: Dried cranberries, walnuts and white chocolate morsels...it's just enough to tie me over. I wake up at 5:30am, eat and usually take lunch at 11:30 or 12noon---so this little hit does the trick

Try a protein bar and a apple. That way the protein bar is keeping you full till lunch. Then in the afternoon try another type of protein and either fruit or some type of vegetables. That way you are getting fiber and protein and those both keep you full. .

At 10AM I have 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 10 blackberries.

Hi!

I started my first job 2 weeks ago. My life has changed from being an active student, to sitting all day, and waking up early, and fitting exercise into my schedule with my long commute.

I have to wake up at 6AM, eat breakfast around 7AM (2 eggs, and 2 toast). I find myself lightheaded at work by 11AM. It is too early for lunch, but a snack doesn't seem enough. Sometimes I end up eating my lunch at this time, but then get hungry again by 3:30-4PM. And then I feel lightheaded during my commute home. To avoid this, I end up eating chilli and bagel around that time. But then, I am not really hungry for dinner, and do not end up eating much (maybe 1/4 cup rice and some veggies)

My question is, what can you eat between breakfast and lunch that is more than a snack, but not unhealthy? I was thinking oatmeal? Anyone else have this issue of waking up early, and getting super hungry before lunch time? What do you do?

my morning snacks vary - today was a banana. yesterday, greek yogurt and a banana, the day before i didn't have a snack because i had a big breakfast. sometimes i'll have a protein bar, sometimes string cheese. last week i made my own trail mix of dried cranberries, slivered almonds, caramel bites, raisins and coconut slivers. i usually have my snack around 10:30 then i hit the gym at 12:30 then i have lunch.

I usually do a piece of fruit and PB2 (peanut butter substitute) or a greek yogert. Both have protein and can help hold you over until lunch. Also be sure to drink plenty of water. That can help as well! Good luck!

I actually use a method that I like to call graze which keeps me from never getting too hungry. Usually my breakfast is something like overnight oats, eggs, cereal... something of that idea. My before lunch snack is usually two lower calorie items but with an hour spaced between. Today it was a banana oatmeal muffin (three ingredients) and half a kale/almond milk/peach shake. The kale shake equals out to 100 calories for half a serving- only because of the peaches. Lunch will be leftover biscuits and gravy at 12:15 and I'll finish the remainder of my kale shake before leaving work at 3:45. Then I have a protein shake immediately after my cardio or weight lifting session and head home to eat dinner which is usually protein packed with carbs as well. Today it's homemade goulash. Feel free to graze my dairy for ideas.

I set my daily caloric intake at 1800 calories and I haven't gained any weight and am slowly losing actually. Try to sit down the night before and preplan your day to have snacks, but if you're hungry, make sure you're eating snacks! There are so many great ideas such as hummus and pita chips, yogurt, mozzarella cheese stick, etc. Also make sure you are drinking the right amount of water. I usually drink roughly about a gallon of water a day and I think that helps a lot with my hunger pangs too because the body often confuses thirst for hunger. Also studies show that healthy snacks between meals keeps your metabolism going nice and strong.

Good luck

Second breakfast.
