    I either cut out breakfast entirely or keep it under 200cals (granola bar), but that's mostly because I start my work day at 9:30 and am at lunch by 11:30. I do end up getting hungry very late since I'm up until about 1am every day. To fill that hunger, I typically will eat a Zone Perfect bar, which is about 200 calories and about the same amount of protein as sugar. They satiate me (the chocolate helps!) and have a good amount of vitamins and minerals - give them a shot.

    200-300 always have a coffee

    then I do high fiber high protein cereal

    cream of wheat and I add protein powder

    tofu scramble with high protein pita bread

    Soy yogurt with scoop of protein powder

    English muffin with tofutti cream cheese



    I guess the point is I like to have a high protein breakfast that feels filling. I eat lunch at 11:15-11:30 due to work and my breakfasts usually keep me going till then. Sometimes I add a mid morning peice of fruit.

    sounds like you're getting lots of good breakfast ideas - but what I'm curious about is why it is considered a negative when you're hungry 4 hours after you first eat. I could never go 4 hours without getting hungry. The whole idea of keeping your metabolism going is snacking and/ or light meals throughout the day. I have breakfast around 6:30- 7 (sometimes yogurt & fruit smoothie... sometimes 1/2 whole wheat bagel w/ 1/2 tablespoon light cream cheese, etc. )... and then at 9:30-10 (3 hours later) I have a mid morning snack... (sometimes 1/2 cup light cottage cheese w/ some berries... sometimes a spinach smoothie, etc.) Then lunch at 12:30 or 1; snack again at 3:30 or 4, dinner at 6:30 ish and sometimes a light snack of veggies & hummus or a glass of milk or something in the evening. I usually come in right at or just below my 1200 calorie requirement for the day (I am going very heavy on fruits & veggies w/ only 1-2 servings of bread/pasta and 1-2 servings of lean meat per day). I stay satisfied all day. I would recommend that you don't necessarily have to change up your breakfast as much as change up your expectations as to how long you should be able to go on that breakfast. IMHO. Good luck.

    I eat either
    raisin bran with milk and 3 oz banana (325 cal)
    Quaker strawberry and cream oatmeal and 3 oz banana (205 cal)
    Two Eggo low-fat nutrigrain waffles with 2 tbs of sugar free syrup, and 3 oz banana (225 cal)

    I eat at 7:00 am and I'm usually pretty hungry by 10:00, but a Special K bar is usually enough to hold me over. The reason I eat 3 oz banana every single morning is because I always make a peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch with one ounce of banana, and the remainder of the banana won't usually keep well without the peeling, which I take off to weigh it. I'm set at 1200 calories a day and I eat back most of my exercise calories, usually between 2-400. My problem is carbs because I always get so many at breakfast and I eat a ton of fruits/vegetables.

    Tomorrow I'm having the oatmeal breakfast and an egg!
