Bigger breakfast = bigger appetite?

[JohnCU]

i've always read that eating a bigger breakfast in the morning prevents you from eating much the rest of the day but it also boosts your metabolism so... i don't know, when i eat oatmeal in the morning i eat less throughout the day but when i eat a big breakfast, like this morning, i've been hungry all damn day.

i could post this in health & fitness but seeing how it's a poll i figure i'll get more responses here.

I know if I don't eat breakfast I feel like crap all morning and by lunch time I am starving. I seem to eat double what I normally would. When I do have breakfast I don't seem to get hungry until around 1PM or so and I end up eating a small lunch at that time. Everyone's body is different in that regard though.

When I don't eat breakfast, I don't get hungry as quickly as when I do. By 10am-12pm, I'm definitely hungrier if I had breakfast that morning. I think the food helps "wake up" your body's metabolism and hence you get hungrier faster if you eat breakfast. But I think Pale is right in that everybody is different..

If I eat a bigger breakfast, I typically skip lunch.

I get results similar to that. It seems that no matter how big my breakfast is, I still get hungry at the same time later in the day.

I like waffles. Blueberry in particular.

I rarely if ever eat breakfasts that big, but I pretty much have to have something. Its usually only turkey sausage and a couple (or three) eggs. Or maybe a banana + something.

Light breakfast, light lunch, light dinner.

My typical breakfast is a protein shake I have after working out. I eat a bigger breakfast once a month (company breakfast) which is usually eggs, bacon and sausage, fruit, some kind of pastry, etc.. those are the days I don't eat lunch. It's not like I stuff my face with a big breakfast every day.

I didn't mean to imply that. I'd do the same as you if I had a company provided breakfast. Saves some $$$. I need to have more shakes in the morning like that, personally.

I have never noticed a trend.

Stay consistent with your breakfast, and with the time you eat lunch.

If you never get full, you never get hungry. So don't gorge yourself at any meal.

 

[TallBill]

No idea, I eat a lot all day.

absolutly true for me
