    Oatmeal made with water (the night before for me) with fruit and some cinnamon added in never fails to fill me SO much!

    For really quick, I will do a greek yogurt or cottage cheese w/ fruit.

    For semi quick (like 5 minutes) I will cook a couple of eggs and make a little breakfast sandwich with a flax wrap.

    PROTEIN is the key to staying full. Stay away from the cereal, really it is like eating a candy bar.

    I enjoy Special K cereal for breakfast also! Try doubling up on the serving, instead of 3/4 cup do 1 1/2 cup and I don't know about you but doubling up on the milk isn't really necessary (and ur still under 300 calories). I think that would help because I'm a BIG girl and it keeps me full from 8 am til noon at the latest. Good Luck ;)

    "Wouldn't it still be better to have your carbs in the am than just before bed for example? I stick to first meal of the day and peri-workout for majority of carbs personally."



    No because we are more insulin sensitive in the AM, by having lower carbs earlier in the day we end up using more bodyfat for energy and sparring muscle. Also by eating more at night, we provide enough energy for our brain while we are fasting for 7-8 hours. When we go to bed hungry, we cause our brain to go into stress, and then it releases cortisol which will eat away at our muscles.

    "The high-energy breakfast induced a strong inhibition of fat oxidation throughout the day. Although long-term adaptation to a high-energy breakfast cannot be excluded, the high-energy breakfast in this study did not appear to be favourable to health. Our results do not support the current advice to consume more energy at breakfast."

    I usually have the same breakfast of two pieces of whole wheat toast with 1.5 tbps of pb (total, not for each piece) and some low sugar jam - no butter. I have to have something hot and I find that oatmeal doesn't keep me full for long.
