Thanks everybody! I know that I take in a lot of sugar for breakfast, but it's fruit so I figured that was ok. My sugar intake is nearly null the rest of the day. I'll try adding the greek yogurt, that's a great idea! I figured adding the spinach would help to make me feel fuller, but I guess not. Thanks again!0

Protein for sure but I do find mentally I need to chew....maybe try eating 1 scrambled egg white or egg beaters too.
For now, I'd chug some water.0 -
I've heard aim for 20g of protein first thing in the morning and like 20-30g per meal... so if I don't eat 20g for breakfast, I'm starving in about an hour as well. You could easily boil a full dozen eggs and eat 2 at breakfast, add some whole grain toast (3-4g of protien per slice)... some peanut butter (4g for 2 tbsp).0

Too many carbs. You need to eat some protein for breakfast if you want to last a little longer. Try an egg white omlet with your spinach, tomato or salsa and a tbls of low fat shredded cheese. . Put it on a low carb bread or pita and a piece of fruit. Save your yogurt for the morning snack a couple of hours later if you need it.0

When my stomach starts growling I like to eat about 1 tbs of almonds (5 or 6 at least) just to get me through to my next meal..and a lot of water too! :-)0

In case you didn't get the message repeated 10x, you need protein! (:
Fry or scramble up 2 eggs. Trust me, you'll barely be able to finish your smoothie. I last only half as long on 160 cals of cake or even fruit vs 2 scrambled eggs.0 -

Good luck! Let us know when you try that and see if there is a difference.0 -

I don't cook in the mornings either.
Several times now I've made myself egg white burritos, put in the fridge and microwaved them the next day.. They tasted great.
I use egg creations/egg beaters , with some onion, peppers, some ham if available. I'll make enough for 4 burritos.
Scramble it up, put 1 tsp of salsa on a whole wheat tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese. I'll eat two, and leave two for breakfast the next day.
I feel like I'm still having my McDonalds Burritos, but a healthier version.0 -
Yeah, that sounds good...I just don't like tortillas in the morning. Don't know why...just never have. :ohwell:
As for my MFP journey, I try and do one new group of stuff every week and then just stick to it after that week is up.
This week:
-switching from 1 cup of strawberries in my smoothie to 1/2 cup
-switching to Greek yogurt... the plain is still only 100 cals, with 18 gr protein
-having a hard boiled egg every morning, but throwing the yolk out (hate the texture, gross, lol)
So I'll let you know how that works at the end of the week! :happy:0
