I'm having a big issue with Breakfast, and hoping someone can help. When I leave for work in the morning (about 7:30 am), I'm not hungry, but by about 9:00 I'm starving. I'm a teacher and my schedule doesn't allow for time to sit and eat an elaborate breakfast, so the best I can do is eat a greek yogurt with berries or granola, or some cheese, or a Protein bar, but by 10:30 I'm hungry again. Real, uncomfortable hunger - not head hunger.

Does anyone have ideas for a filling breakfast that can carry me for three or four hours, that I can pack and doesn't need to be heated/cooked (I don't have access to a microwave)? I think I'm at restriction (or close) and I have 8.5cc's in a 10cc band, so there's not much more room. But part of me thinks this shouldn't be a problem. So many of you seem to be fine in the mornings with only a cup of coffee or a Protein shake. How can I eat a whole Protein Bar and be legitimately hungry an hour and a half later?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am one of those coffee and protein shake drinkers myself! I also like to make a bowl of cream of wheat and take it to work with me..I actually don't mind it cold and I do have a mic at work. The cream of wheat stays with me for hours! Hope this might help you!!

I am the same way when I eat bars. I love Fiber one bars, but because it is full of sugar, I am stomach-rumbling hungry an hour later. For lunch, I only eat a campbells soup-at-hand and it holds me for about 3 hours. So, some mornings I cook grits at home and pack it to school. I then nuke it for a minute and it tastes great. I have heard that some people like to eat eggs for breakfast, so you could probably pack a hard-boiled egg or two and that should definitely keep you satisfied for at least 3 hours.
