Probably because it's a myth. If I eat breakfast I am 10x hungrier by lunch than if I don't. Happens regardless of it is. Not everyone's appetite works the same.
I would guess that its a carby breakfast that leaves you famished by lunch. Eating 400c of fat/protein for breakfast and no carbs holds a person longer.

I like a morningstar farms burger on a light english muffin with cheese and ketchup. 275 calories and great protein. It's similar to a sausage biscuit. And no, not a vegetarian, I just like them.0

You should try with some sriracha if you like a little bit of a kick. Works really well with morningstars "sausage" pattieslevitateme wrote: »I like a morningstar farms burger on a light english muffin with cheese and ketchup. 275 calories and great protein.

Egg whites and usually some protein from the night before (chicken/turkey/pork), and I mix it up with spinach/kale, onion, tomato, celery, peppers, squash... pretty much any kind of veggie I can get my hands on. I like to sometimes mix in some dry kale krunch and I always add a dash of Sriracha
Lotts of protein & fiber and yummy. Very filling! I used to do Greek Yogurt with fresh fruit and raw buckwheat in the morning but I'd be hungry like an hour later.
I LOVE BREAKFAST SALAD!!
I even have a song that goes with it. My co-workers think I'm weird.

Is this an egg-based breakfast or a cereal breakfast?

I have no idea how people do this. My breakfasts are either 600-700 or don't exist (I just wait til lunch). Just a little bit of food tends to pi$$ me off. But I might try some of these ideas, interesting.0

Has anyone heard the saying "Feast like a king for breakfast, Dine like a prince for lunch, and piece like a pauper for dinner"? I've never been a breakfast person, but if it's healthier for me to do so I think I'd be willing to give it a try.0

High fiber English muffin with an egg is 170, add a little sriracha or other hot sauce for a flavor kick I normally add a light and fit Greek yogurt which totals up to 250 or no sugar added red grape fruit to bring me up to 210..
If I'm in a rush one of those Greek yogurts plus a small portion of kind granola tossed in is almost exactly 200 cakes0 -
I've been getting into breakfast biscuits (cookies for you US types?).
Oh noes, carbs!!11!!, but they certainly keep me going till lunchtime. About 220 calories for 2 of the Sanitarium On the Go brand.0 -

I've noticed mine has to be just the right breakfast for me to not be starving. Mine is not 200 though xP I would much rather lunch be lower calories. I think it's personal preference and what you find works for you. Mine is typically 3 eggs + veggies + cheese + a slice of bacon so about 400 calories. Yesterday I ran out of eggs, ate the same number of calories but instead had 3 slices of bacon and half bagel with butter. I was starving at my first snack, I was still even sort of hungry after lunch. May have been in my head, but for me I need high protein and fat and fiber for breakfast. Other meals I eat carbs and am not starving soon after but breakfast is important for me.0
