2 eggs and toast with a bit of butter at 6:30 and hungry at 9:30.

Although eggs arr nice and full of protein, why am i always hungry soon after eating them?

    Protein, fat & fiber are filling. Your eggs have fat and protein. What kind of toast? Does it have a decent amount of fiber? Maybe saute some veggies to have with your eggs (fiber) or add some cheese.

    Every morning I eat the same thing with a slight variation: three egg whites, cream cheese or a piece of cheese, a piece of toast, a banana, and coffee/ water. What I found is that when I ate more refined carbs with my eggs like 1/2 a bagel or a hamburger bun, I would feel super hungry not even an hour later! Try more dense, fiber-filled breads like a grainy bread which will keep you fuller longer. Arnold has a bread called "Super Grainy" which is great! Veer away from the gluten-free breads with loaded sugars, as that will make the hunger worse. Hope this helps! Keep fighting the good fight.

    I'd go along with this. On the rare occasion I eat breakfast that early, I am usually looking for second breakfast by 9 or 10.

    With the eggs and toast, i had a bit of greek yogourt with dry raisin.

    The bread is normal type, 14 cereal, not white, not gluten free ( i dont buy into that gimmick).

    Well i just moved my desert from my lunch, greek yogourt and frozen blueberries.

    Should be good 'till red bell pepper time at 11

    How many calories is this meal? Are you fairly active during this time period? If you eat other foods at 6:30 how long is it before you get hungry again? Maybe eat a different food, have more calories in the morning or add some vegetables or fruit to your breakfast.

    I tend to get hungry every 3-5 hours no matter what I eat. I don't find eggs as filling as some other foods.

    I can eat a big breakfast or a small one, I'm still usually hungry 3-4 hours later. I eat a high fiber and protein breakfast consisting of lentils/split peas, black beans, corn, and tomatoes. It's good and filling, but it doesn't usually last until lunch.

    One suggestion would be to make sure the toast is 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grains. That will help alittle, or at least be healthier.

    It is normal to be hungry 3 or so hours later. That said, I stay satisfied for quite awhile when I have (savory) oatmeal with my eggs instead of toast.

    Agreed. I have a glass of water at 7am before I leave the house for work and then breakfast at 8.30/9 which usually means I don't need a morning snack and can last till lunch at 12

    I'm not sure about hers, but I often make my oatmeal with chicken stock instead of water and then add shredded chicken. This is an Arab thing, I think. And people look at you funny when you tell them that you make it with milk and sugar...

    I make mine with milk and a pinch of salt. Sometimes a bit of cinnamon. Then I top it with scrambled eggs. It's super filling. I use plain oats. I really don't like all that sugar from the flavored oatmeal in the morning. If anything, I'll add fruit for a sweet kick.

    You got some good answers already, but I make mine with a pinch of salt and then vary the flavorings. Sometimes scallions or chives, sometimes a 1/2 tsp. of sesame oil, sometimes some red pepper flakes. And I LOVE sriracha. It was kind of a mental thing to start thinking of it as a starch that could be seasoned any way I like rather than something that must be sweet, but it doesn't seem strange to me anymore.

    This sounds really good. Almost how I would season congee.

    This morning, no time to eat before leaving home. So i got myself a bagel with cream cheese (no butter) at the train station around 8am.

    It is now 11 and i'm not really hungry.

    There must be something with me and eggs...
