breakfast makes me hungrier

This used to be the case for me, I think it's a case of getting your body used to it. When I started my regime, I used to eat cereal and then by 10 I'd feel starving! I found a banana at this time or some other fruit would see me through til Lunch time.

After a while this went away and I can now eat cereal at 8 and easily go through til Lunch.

My advice would be to try this, if you do want a snack then try fruit but definitely don't consider giving up breakfast all together as it starts your metabolism earlier.

Hey, i used to feel like that all time, id eat like a horse if i had breakfast and be fine without, But a year or so down the line of making myself sit and eat breakfast with my kids, i now starve if i dont and feel fine when i do lol. I think you just need to get used too it, hard if your trying to control your diet at the same time i know.
Good luck!

I went through the starving thing when I ate breakfast as well. I had to change my foods....cereal made me starve by 9.....fruit by itself also did the same thing. So then....I found two things that made me feel good and not starve by lunch. Oatmeal....and then most days....I eat yogurt. Yogurt would fill me up. IT took me awhile to figure those things out. I even tried different cereals. I love it....but....it just made me starve soon after. Try different things....you will eventually find what works for you. : ) Best of luck. : )

Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. Dont eat it if you dont want to.

This.
I don't have the links but someone will provide them. There is no reason to eat breakfast if you don't want to. It does not 'start' or 'boost' your metabolism. It's a myth.

Eat it only if you function better with breakfast in your stomach, or eating breakfast prevents you from making bad lunch choices.

i like breakfast, but when i just eat cereal and milk, i am starving within an hour. i eat some oatmeal with a scoop of peanut butter, and some coffee at 5am before work, and i can make it until about noon if i have to.

Eat when you're hungry. It's been keeping the human race going since the dawn of time.

I see there are naysayers here, so I'll address that real quick. I'm sure you can find articles, studies, or quotes to support any opinion you want. There is so much contradictory information out there it will make your head spin. For example: 'Nancy Clark, registered dietician and author of Sports Nutrition recommends eating 1/3 of your daily calories for breakfast. Clarke says, “If you’re going to skip any meal, skip dinner but not breakfast. Your goal should be to fuel by day and eat a little less at night.”'

Now, this supports my own position on the matter. Not only that...it makes sense. Think of your metabolism as a fire. After a night of burning up what you loaded into it during the previous day, it's burning low, cooled off. You have to throw some fresh fuel on the fire. Not some dead leaves or newspaper that will burn bright and be gone in seconds. You need a piece of good hardwood, that will raise the heat level but also burn constantly for hours. THAT is your protein. My advice may be anecdotal, and there may be quotes that other people have found that contradict me, but I CAN tell you this definitively:

I eat breakfast every day, and I'm 70 pounds lighter than when I started.

Just because a dietitian said so does not make it correct. Find a peer reviewed clinical study that tells me so then ill uhh... do a dance for you haha

I can tell you this. Sidesteal, Acg67, myself, and many others on here skip breakfast every single day. And we are all very learn with fast metabolisms :]

Yeah my metabolism quote might be a myth in a scientific sense but huffdog has this right.

Proof? Peer reviewed clinical study? Or broscience?

Correlation =/= causation
:flowerforyou:

I eat breakfast...I can't wait until lunch! I personally feel the need to give my body fuel in the morning. If I skip breakfast I tend to get cravings and it can lead to me snacking on unhealthy things before lunch. It makes more sense to me to try and eat my calories earlier in the day. I'm not sure why you are feeling hungry when you have had breakfast. maybe you are not eating enough breakfast? Don't be frightened of eating more, as long as you are compensating with exercise. Before people jump on me, I am no expert, this is just my opinion , and what works for me. I am on a 1200 cals a day, but most days I eat more as I eat some or sometimes all of my exercise calories back. This is what works for me, and when I finally reach my goal weight, I think my body will adjust better to maintenance this way. I see little point in starving myself. I have lost weight before just eating less and not exercising. I was thinner but didn't look healthy and the weight came back on. Hope you work it out!

B/F is most imp meal. One should never skip the breakfast...!

Either skip breakfast (meal timing is irrelevant anyway) or consider switching high sugar breakfast for something high protein.

If you really don't want to eat breakfast & you are functioning fine without it, then don't eat it. I usually eat breakfast, but I don't always. Sometimes I prefer to sleep in, like on the weekends. But I do find that a protein breakfast like eggs sticks with me longer than cereal, so you could give that a try.

You have to find what's right for your body. Breakfast is NOT the right choice for me and it may not be for the OP either.

Well that was kind of my point... Well done on the loss btw..

I am not being hostile at all! You are misunderstanding my point.

I am not against breakfast at all. Skipping breakfast does not boost metabolism and eating it doesn't either. Meal timing is irrelevant when it comes to that.

But if you look at what the OP said, if she skips breakfast she doesn't get hungry and can eat more later. This seems to be beneficial to her. So everyone saying she has to eat breakfast, why? that is what I am getting at.

Some like it and some don't. To each their own honestly xD Just don't like myths or broscience is all
