    I go for a bowl of porridge (with a tsp of black treacle) or a multigrain bagel with 2 poached eggs. Keeps hunger locked up 'til 12pm most days :)

    try to eat more protein - it takes your body longer to burn through protein -- cereal is typically high carb.... you probably need more protein to balance out the carbs... try adding some nuts - or an egg (as others have suggested)

    But it's not necessarily a bad thing to want something to eat 2 hours later -- you're supposed to refuel your metabolism every 2-3 hours so have the hard boiled egg or nuts when you're hungry 2 hours later.

    I found a couple of recipes that involve eggs or egg whites and a veggie like broccoli or spinach - I made 12 egg and broccoli "cupcakes" on Sunday - split them out into 2 per serving and all I have to do is microwave really easy and only 170 calories or so for 2 I have that with some greek yogurt and nuts, I eat early about 6:30 and that keeps me going until about 10...

    Try Better Oats ABUNDANCE® brand. It has flax seeds in the oatmeal and that will keep you fuller longer. They have a variety of flavors, very inexpensive and PACKED WITH FLAVOR! I eat it about 6-7am and I am not hungry until 10 or 11am.

    I like to have toasted bread with mashed banana with clear squeezy honey.............filling and the energy it gives you lasts a long time.

    I dont generally have a mid morning snack unless its a piece of fruit and then I have a light luch and later dinner.

    My other calories are usually spent on sweet stuff or a vodka or 2 with low cal mixer.

    keep smiling and its always good to change about from time to time, I here porridge is a good one but I DONT LIKE IT.

    I have a Breakstone Cottage Cheese double most every morning. It seems to keep me satisfied until lunch (or close) and it's only 100 calories.

    Porrige (Scottish oats made with skimmed milk), bluberries, mixed nuts and fruits. Total 226 calories. Will keep you satisfied for a long time.

    I find I need 20+grams of protein to keep me full at breakfast. I usually eat 2 eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon, coffee with 1oz half and half and about an hour later a piece of fruit or almond milk and banana blend. I eat this about 8:15 and I don't need lunch until 12:30-1:00

    i rarely used to eat breakfast as i have always avoided cereal. But i have found that a piece of bacon and a poached egg is always filling. I would agree with other people that protein is the way to go and is a lot healthier than people think if you cook it the right way e.i. grilling the bacon instead of frying, plain toast rather than fried bread. Also i find that a banana or apple as well is guaranteed to keep you full until lunch.

    Great value english muffins with egg canadian bacon and cheese have been doing well for me(200 calories a sandwich) . I eat that with my first bottle of water for the day, then if I start to get hungry between breakfast and lunch I have an 8 ounce glass of low sodium V8, just enough to take the edge off and only 50 calories, plus I'm getting some veggies into breakfast, which I'm normally not too good at.

    V8! Good Suggestion! - I'm trying to get more veggies in. - Thanks

    I drink low sodium L&A brand veg juice. I think the low sodium makes a difference as my body totally reads thirst as hunger!
