    protein, protein, protein.


    If I eat a veggie and cheese omelet with some turkey bacon for breakfast, I'm full til lunch... If I have a bowl of cereal, I'm ready for lunch 30 minutes later. It makes a huge difference for me.

    Defiantley agree. I cannot get over the difference in how hungry I get when I have a big carb heavy meal vs a smaller protien heavy meal. Protein gives you more UMPH for your calories! Hard boiled eggs are my savior!

    try protein packed meals or low calorie snacks between meals. i eat like 5 small meals a day..sometimes six. i'm never hungry unless i skip a snack. snacks i will do like a cup of strawberries and handful of nuts, a granola bar and an orange, orange and a glass of milk, string cheese and a fruit, apples and peanut butter, celery with peanut butter and raisins, whole wheat bread and peanut butter, chocolate milk and string cheese...things like that.

    just make sure your meals have a good source of protein to keep you fuller longer, and whole grains help too!!

    I know how you feel. I can eat 2 scrambled eggs on a bed of veggies, a glass of milk and a banana and still feel hungry..it never seems to go away. I had heard that water helps...but it never seemed to be the case for me. However, what I have just started doing which seems to help a bit is to make myself drink 24 oz. of water beffore I'm allowed a snack, then another 24 before lunch, another 24 before my snack and so on all day. I am still hungry but it's not as bad.

    Have to second the calls for more protein. I often eat a large breakfast consisting of around 800 calories and 60-70 grams of protein and that will curb hunger for me all day, I will have zero cravings. You don't have to go that extreme, but try adding protein as others suggested. I recently convinced some friends of mine to do the same thing and they are blown away by how they just didn't feel hungry for hours and hours.

    Yeah, your breakfast would have lasted me all of 30 minutes before I was starving again. If you love eggs, I would get on that! :happy:

    eggs are great as they last a awhile. you can micro an egg by scrambling it for a minute. i do this while emptying the dishwasher and put it on a piece of toast. should last about 3 or 4 hrs. i have to eat every 3 or 4 with the hypoglycemia or I get sick.carbs in the morning dont do it although i love cereal so eat that for lunch or a snack sometimes
