Does anyone else have this problem? After cereal (Cheerios) for breakfast, my stomach is growling like crazy in 2 hours or less.

    Yes! I always have this problem with breakfast cereal. Once I made the switch to protein for breakfast, I realized what I was missing out on! Now I love my homemade breakfast sammies!

    I have so had this problem! Then I switched to either Kashi Go Lean or Oatmeal and I add either blueberries or raspberries and now I stay full longer. I needed something with more protein too. I LOVE and highly recommend the Kashi cereals. :smile:

    You need to eat protein with your breakfast. Cereal alone just doesn't cut it! Try having a scrambled egg alongside your cereal and see if you notice a difference :)

    Try eating a more nutrient dense/high protein cereal such as the Kashi Go Lean cereals. They have quite a few flavors that "have as much protein as an egg" and also have a lot more fiber than Cheerios and other kinds of cereal. I am always hungry, but Kashi cereals keep me full until lunch.

    Protein is the best thing to have in the morning especially for weight loss (according to Dr. Oz and some other fitness experts). I love having egg beaters or protein shakes which typically fill me up until lunch time. I also like Kashi cereal when I'm craving some carbs!

    I started eating kashi go lean cereals that have generally 10 grams of protein and I was surprised when I wasn't hungry 20 minutes after breakfast! I also eat alvarez bakery complete protein bread for breakfast toast or snack and that helps a lot too.

    A bowl of cheerios would have me wanting 10, and they I would be hungry in 30 minutes. Have something with high fiber like kashi is good.

    I usually have a whole grain toast and peanut butter with my cereal. If I had to go longer than three hours before my next meal, I would have two toast or something else to go along with it. Considering how little a serving of most cereals is, there's no way it's enough for a meal.

    Thanks for the suggestions - I'm definitely trying something with more protein for breakfast tomorrow!
