Hungry after breakfast

    I agree with skipping breakfast as I am just as hungry around the same times weather I eat it or not. I just drink coffee, water, and tea until it’s time for me to eat.

    However, if you are a breakfast person and would like to continue using your weight loss oatmeal here is something I used (it sounds weird but trust me it’s actually good):

    Shred half to a whole zucchini (depending on size) and mix it in with your oatmeal packet, then add water (you will need less water because of the water in the zucchini)

    Then flavor as you like, Zucchini is a very bland vegetable that will take on the taste of whatever you mix it with. I generally like to add apples and cinnamon and a packet of stevia.

    The added volume will allow you to eat more with very few added calories and the fiber from the vegetable will keep you fuller longer. I am also in agreement about the protein though, throw 1/2 a cup of egg whites in there or even a whole egg.

    The weight loss oatmeal is because I eat it at work. And I can zap it in the micorwave.
    I'm thinking the protein is a good idea.
    Maybe boil up some eggs and take them in to work.
    Or scramble some.

    That crock pot oatmeal sounds good. Does it taste like sweet potatoess? I do not like sweet potatoes.

    I normally eat breakfast at about 8:30 or 9:00 AM.
    I wake up between 5:30 and 6:30.
    I can't eat for about 2 hours.
    But if I wait much longer, my sugar starts to drop and i get weak and dizzy.
    I will try the more protein thing and see if that helps.

    Thank you all so much. I got some great ideas.
    Crock pot oatmeal, egg white and spinach scramble. among others.

    Breakfast makes me more hungry throughout the day so I skip it. Instead I will have an early lunch around 11 or wait until after my workout at 2pm to eat. Breakfast is not necessary.

    If you would like to continue eating a morning meal I would suggest:

    6 egg whites
    .5 serving of shredded cheese
    40g of old fashioned oatmeal

    This was my go-to for years and will keep you feeling full longer than just eating carbs.



    Google Leangains or 16/8 Intermittent fasting if you'd like to read more about skipping breakfast.

    try high fiber oatmeal and an apple. both have a good amount of fiber that keeps you full longer. Also planning on a mid morning snack helps. I eat at 7, snack at ten, eat noon, snack at three, eat six, and snack at 9 and then go to bed (eventually). it helps me to eat often and to drink lots of water in between meals and with my meals. you could add some protein to your breakfast. like an egg. I aim for protein and fiber to keep my satisfied

    For most of my life I ate breakfast, and it always seemed like I was ravenous shortly after.

    Now I don't eat breakfast, and I don't seem to get hungry until early afternoon. It's the bee's knees.

    ^^^^^same I eat when I feel hungry which is generally between noon and 2pm.

    However when I did eat breakfast I found eggs to be the most satisfying.

    If your eating at work and only have access to a microwave - that's cool.

    At my work I some times have eggs for lunch and microwave them. You can either scramble or poach them in the microwave.

    Hope you find something that satisfied????

    Scottish slimmers claims microwave oatmeal doesn't keep you full as long as traditionally cooked oatmeal. Sorry I don't know the facts around this.

    well my 2c worth is my own experience. I am not a breakfast person. I dont eat for first 2 hrs after i wake or i get stomach cramps. but when i do i have discovered a few things. Firstly cereal makes me hungry really quickly. A poached eat on toast does not. plain toast lands somewhere in the middle. So seems sugar first thing. Doesn't work for me. If i do porridge i do it in the slow cooker and if i make it with water i can have heaps and keeps me going easily till 1pm. Good luck finding what works.

    I really like 1 or 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in a glass of water either with breakfast or as a mid-morning snack. Soak the chia seeds for 10 mins in your water and slurp away. I find it really refreshing and very filling :) i buy mine from nuts.com

    Is there fake sugar in the oatmeal? I can't eat fake sugar because it causes me to be hungrier than normal.

    My typical breakfast is a packet of weight loss oatmeal, 1/2 cup peaches or pears, 1 TBSP of flax seed.

    Within an hour or hour and half I'm hungry again.

    That is like 225 calories for breakfast. Any ideas on something that is about the same calories but more filling or sustaining?

    I'm trying to get that last 15 lbs and it is becoming harder and harder to do.
    Well ditch the weightloss oatmeal. if your going to eat Porridge get some proper oats it really doesn't take any longer to cook (yes you can use the microwave if you own one of those) and is not full of sweeteners. Yoghurt, fruits in fact anything. I'd personally go for higher calories for breakfast if you're struggling. My breakfasts average around 500 calories. I don't think its what your eating it's the amount so in reality just eat more

    I'm eating Weetabix with chopped banana and skimmed milk for breakfast. I understand what you mean by getting hungry again. When I do my exercise I do seem to get hungry after. I would just peck on a few nuts and it helps me

    I stay full longer when I have an egg & toast, than when I eat oatmeal.

    I read that fruit takes 20 mins to pass through the stomach and should
    always be eaten well before a meal.
