Eating breakfast makes me super hungry!

So don't eat breakfast if you're not a breakfast eater. It has zero effect on your metabolism or weight loss. There are lots of users here who don't have their first meal of the day until noon or later.

Same. If I have breakfast at about 8am then I'm starving by 10:30am. I think it's because your stomach then has some sort of reference point for comparison, so once you've digested most of your breakfast your stomach rumbles and feels empty and wants more. I know that's not really a sciency explanation, but it happens to me literally every day.

I just put off eating until I'm actually hungry (which is usually early afternoon). It's much easier that way.

I'm glad i'm not the only one!
I just worry it will slow down my weight loss.

You're scared what will slow down your weightloss? Not eating breakfast? If anything it'll help it because you'll consume less. All the stuff about needing to 'kick start your metabolism' is rubbish.

You gym person is wrong. Go by how you feel.
I cannot stand breakfast because 1) I am not interested in food in the morning, and 2) it makes me want to eat the rest of the day.
Look into Intermittent Fasting:

So normally I wouldn't eat breakfast in a morning. ( I know this isn't good for my metabolism, but I have to get two buses to work so its always hectic in the morning)
On friday, I had breakfast for the first time in months. Then a chicken salad at lunch with a couple gluten free rice cakes, which is normal for me. But 3 o'clock hit and I was soooooo hungry, major hunger pangs.
Logic would suggest that if you eat more you would be more full.
Can anyone explain?

This is false. Eaty when you want to. If breakfast doesn't work for you, don't have it.

You didn't post what your typical breakfast is, but I'm willing to bet it's high in carbs. If you replace the carbs with fats and proteins you will feel fuller longer. Also, as already mentioned by other commenters, breakfast is not necessary so don't force yourself to eat it if it's going to negatively affect diet compliance.

As many have stated already timing of your first meal does not matter. To a point. Read up on Intermittent Fasting. Ive done this for 6 plus months now with phenomenal results. Body weight is dropping and all my lifts have gone up consistently. I have no desire to go back to eating early morning. I fast 8pm to 12pm next day. 16/8. This has many many benefits for your body. Also as its been previously stated is what you consume in the meal will effect your hunger levels. There also a mental factor to get passed were you think you are hungry but aren't. Good luck.

I hardly ever eat breakfast because it makes me too hungry throughout the day. Never had a problem with weight loss from that.

I leave for work by 630 am every day, so can't eat until at least 830/9am every day. I try to wait til then anyway, because I take lunch late (1pm, or later if I use my lunch break to go to the fitness center). I have my coffee in the car on the drive in, which gives me something in my stomach if I'm hungry then. Breakfast around 9am, late morning snack (yogurt or cottage cheese, sometimes with fruit), & then lunch 1-2pm. I'm good til dinner (6ish). My work & personal schedule is built in such a way that I really do tend to eat at those times.
On my days off, especially if I sleep in (can't always), if I don't eat breakfast til late morning, I either have a bigger meal, & skip the snack, or have a bigger meal, & no / light lunch. It really depends on my hunger & what I'm doing the rest of the day.
Bottom line -- Eat what / when it makes sense for you. If you're not hungry before late morning, don't eat til then. Just don't let yourself starve, because then you can make poor choices, or eat too fast & end up overdoing it.

Its ok not to eat breakfast. It doesn't negatively impact your metabolism. I too am one of those people who if i eat an early breakfast i end up being very hungry all morning and struggle to make it to lunch
