    A hint I got off the boards is to add oatmeal to smoothies. I add just 1/8 cup of uncooked plain oatmeal to my am smoothie. It has added an extra 2 hours before I get hungry... I don't need an am snack anymore.

    I love cereal....but, had to stop eating it because I was starving two hours later. So now....for breakfast, I eat yogurt. Keeps me full until lunch! I love those yoplait boston cream pie, keylime pie, etc......just like the lady on the commercial who has a refrigerator full! Cracks me up when she is on the phone talking about all of her yogurt and her husband is in the fridge looking for the boston cream pie etc. That is exactly what my fridge looks like! I also tried fruit in the morning...and again , I was starving after eating that a little later. i have saved fruits for snacks in between meals....still love it! : )

    I think a balance of fat, carb and protein at every meal and every snack keeps my blood sugar level all day long so I never get a crash. I never eat a carb without also adding a fat and a protein. It's that simple. The balance is the feel full factor for me.

    I like Greek Yogurt in the morning. My fave is Chobani Strawberry Banana 2%. The 2% has a little bit of fat and isn't as bitter as the nonfat version. Only 160 calories, and, it has like 14 grams of protein and helps me stay full all morning!

    I don't find much makes me feel flu for very long at all!

    I used to eat a lot of bread, because it filled me up, but I got fat, so that had to go. I do find Genius wheat free bread is good for filling me up in the same way normal bread used to. I had a piece at 2pm, and it's 5.30 now and don't feel starving, though I have had 2 cups of tea since, which probably help.

    But in general, I am hungry most of the time.

    sounds yummy. What does over hard mean? Is the egg something I can do in the microwave? I eat breakfast at work

    coconut milk (like thai kitchen or native forest, NOT the so delicious crap in the dairy section), frozen fruit, and protein powder. Throw it in a food processor and blend well

    Hard over means you fry the yolk hard, as for in the microwave yeah just scramble it and nuke it. My wife has eggs for breakfast every morning usually a veggie omelet, 1 egg, 1 serving of egg beaters (generic brand) some green peppers and tomato with a couple thin slices of ham and some mrs. dash spicy seasoning. She nukes it the night before then reheats in the microwave at work in the morning. She loves it and it's very filling.

    Protein works the best for me. In the morning fat free ham and egg, together or separate, they hold for about 2 hrs before I get hungry. For lunch, I found that the beef (100gr) can hold for 3-4 hrs. So I vote for animal protein.

    That first sentence means something very very different in England!

    coconut milk (like thai kitchen or native forest, NOT the so delicious crap in the dairy section), frozen fruit, and protein powder. Throw it in a food processor and blend well

    my basic formula is 1 cup frozen fruit, 4 to 6 oz of liquid, scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/8 cup dry oatmeal. sometimes i add yogurt but use less liquid.

    right now i am hooked on raspberries. one cup frozen raspberries, six oz of trop 30 blueberry, and all the other stuff

    my second fave is four ice cubes, 4 oz of oj (not that light cal stuff... good oj), 1/2 vanilla yogurt, and all the other stuff... it states like those orange Popsicle with vanilla ice cream in the center.
