Normally I would take around 300, but I have an appetite problem lately which I think is psychological. I will skip lunch and eat a well-nutritient dinner. I bought organic milupa baby food, which I am sure tastes horrible but well in nutritients.
Today I had several cups of coffee, and ate nothing else until about 5:30 - 6 PM. Most days I just have coffee and a bagel, and nothing much more until dinner.
Eat what works for you. Maybe you're just hungry in the morning because you are eating less at night.
I actually had a past and a mandarin right before sleep, but it didn't prevent me from getting so hungry in the morning
How do you survive the day like that !? Don't you need energy? What is your dinner like?
For years I've eaten very light breakfast. It just works for me. I often have coffee and a bagel, then eat nothing until dinner time. If my work and activity levels are up, I do eat during the day.
In your case the baby food and low calorie thing might just be leaving you with too low of an overall calorie intake. Even if you set your goals low (for women I think the minimum should be 1200 calories net) eat foods that fill you up more, and it might help curb your cravings.
But in any case stay safe, experiment on what makes you feel better, and do what works for you. For me, I can spread my meals out with a long period in between. For others that may mean lots of small meals through the day. For you.... just remember there are very few absolutes in weight loss and you have to figure that one out for yourself.0 -
Usually around 300-400, some days more (today 1100, lol), some days less.0

I'm often not very hungry in the morning so my breakfast is smaller.
I typically eat 200-300 calories for breakfast, 300-500 for lunch, 400-600 for dinner and 100-200 for snacks. I try to eat between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. I eat a variety of regular foods- the way I want to eat for the rest of my life.
If you aren't planning to eat baby food for the rest of your life it probably won't help you develop healthy eating habits to do so now. It is food obviously- just pureed or cut up- so not bad for your physical health but mentally/socially you may not be doing yourself any favors.0 -

My usual breakfast is about 115 Cals. Black coffee with cinnamon raisin bagel thin, spray can't believe it's not butter and a bottle of water with Mio water enhancer. And most days my lunch is about 180 Cals 4 egg whites, slice of non-fat American cheese, whole wheat toast and another bottle of water. I have the rest of my Cals at dinner and with snacks.0

Chicken eggs are high in cholesterol, but the effect of egg consumption on blood cholesterol is minimal when compared with the effect of trans fats and saturated fats.
The risk of heart disease may be more closely tied to the foods that accompany the eggs in a traditional American breakfast — such as the sodium in the bacon, sausages and ham, and the saturated fat or oils with trans fats used to fry the eggs and the hash browns.
Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week with no increase in their risk of heart disease. Some studies have shown that this level of egg consumption may actually prevent some types of strokes.
But the story is different for people who have diabetes. In this ever-growing population, eating seven eggs a week significantly increases the risk of heart disease.0 -

None. I simply can't eat in the mornings. Even the thought of food turns my stomach. So I wait until later and eat about noon or 1PM, then dinner, and usually a snack before bed.0

Usually I have about 400 calories for breakfast. Once I had closer to 800 calories and found it didn't keep me full for much longer than my normal breakfast.0 -
Read this, it will help you on how to calculate your calories: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380183
Don't eat baby food. Take a multivitamin in the morning but you need actual food. Try a salad with diced carrots, mushrooms, ect with a vinaigrette dressing or caeser dressing. Either way you need actual food.
As far as breakfast, I eat 3 pieces of turkey bacon and it's a total of 90 calories.0 -
Ranges from 400-700ish0

Yes this is exactly what I realized, no matter how big my meal is I will eventually in a few hours feel hungry. So I lowered the calories for all my meals.0 -
