    if you are getting light headed, you may have blood sugar issues. I'm not saying that to scare you. I would suggest a snack that includes healthy carbs/ sugar and protein. Like apple slices and peanut butter or cheese, veggie sticks with cheese or hummus, deli meat slices with whole wheat tortilla, fruit and greek yogurt parfait with a little chopped nuts, or a small yogurt and fruit based smoothie.

    you still need to pay attention to your calorie intake, but if you eat a 100-150 calorie portion around 10 or 11, you should be held over till lunch and not get shaky from your blood sugar getting too low. Hope this helps.

    A typical day for me:

    Breakfast: Fage Greek Yogurt & a banana

    Morning snack: some sort of chocolate (lately, 3 Musketeers bar), tea (at least 2 cups, if not 3)

    Lunch: A healthy, homemade meal (sometimes a sandwich, other times spaghetti, chicken, fish, meatloaf, or some other concoction served with veggies on the side).

    Afternoon snack: 1/4 cup of almonds, another Fage Greek yogurt, and more tea. Maybe another apple or a banana.

    Supper: If I had a "meal" for lunch, I will have a sandwich now, or vice versa. If I had a sandwich for lunch, I'll have a bigger meal for supper.

    Evening: tea, lots of tea.

    Net cals: 2000 a day.

    I usually don't eat anything between breakfast and lunch. However, for just in case purposes I try to pack a yogurt or banana to hold me over if I do get hungry. Another good snack would be a protein bar or 1 cup of Special K with Red Berries. I guess it depends on your personal needs.

    I eat a relatively big breakfast; oatmeal with protein powder, nuts, milk and fruit - about 450 kcal. so it depends on if I'm bored or hungry ;-). Sometimes nothing, sometimes some yogurt or some fruit plus always drinking water.

    My answer is pretty much like the others but for the sake of another data point -

    I make sure to eat a filling breakfast. Usually I don't need a snack before lunch but if my day starts extra early for some reason I do. In that case it's one of the following:
    • Almonds
    • Energy bar
    • A piece of fruit - usually an apple, sometimes a banana or whatever is in season.

    Edited due to poor early morning typing skills

    I get hungry most days before lunch. I work in a coffee shop so I make myself a double tall nonfat latte with one sugar packet. It fits in my calories for the day, wakes me up and fills me up. And there's enough sugar in the milk that I can't trick myself into thinking I can afford a cookie for dessert later. I like to cheat like that if I get the chance.

    Try eating your oatmeal for breakfast see if that lasts longer that eggs and toast.Take scrambled eggs for your snack.
