This is a BRILLIANT idea. I do not like the taste of Greek yogurt. I tried it at Starbucks mixed with honey, and it was better than most, but I still had to choke it down. Definitely using this one. Thanks!

These are all really wonderful suggestions. I don't know if I am eating fiber rich granola bars...lol. Guess who needs to pay better attention to the nutrition label...THIS GIRL! This is why I am so grateful for this site. Thanks again, everyone!! xo And keep the suggestions coming, if you have more ideas :)

If I found myself in that situation at work, I'd make a quick run to Dunkin Donuts and get a hot skim milk latte, no sugar (not necessary) and that would fill me up for hours. I think the heat expands in the belly, the skim milk is a good protein source, and frankly it tastes so decadent to me that I feel like its a splurge when it isn't (except the price....lol).

It's like having key lime pie for breakfast. :) I'm going to try it with the chocolate pudding mix for desserts, too. Sometimes I crave something sweet after dinner and that sounds like it might fit the bill perfectly and help me meet my protein goal.

KARA, you gave me an idea here--I never heard of true lime--googled it and found the website True Citrus. The products look great~! Thanks much.

my favorite appetite curber- Honey Sticks and Agave Sticks. Omg there so sweet and scrumtious! Also since Im not used to sweets all that much anymore they make me feel full every time and each one has like half a tablespoon of honey. : )

I love cereal for breakfast so I have a bowl of high fiber cereal (13.5g per cup) with skim milk, and a cheese stick. I usually eat at 5:30 am so I have some yogurt around 9:30 to get me through till lunch.

My 2 normal breakfast's are:
bran flakes with soy milk and then a banana later on. This usually keeps me good until lunch since there's almost 10g of fiber between the 3 and about 10 of protein as well.

Or, which this keeps me full longer:
packet of flavored oatmeal, 1/4c regular oatmeal, 2T ground flax .5c soy milk with 1/4-1/2c water. This generally keeps me feeling nice and full for about 3-4hours and comes in around 400 calories with 13g fiber and roughly the same in protein.

But, some mornings we're just hungrier than usual. Sometimes your body just needs a little more. I find that if I wake up hungry in the morning then I need to eat a larger breakfast. Most mornings I don't wake up super hungry. Today, I woke up feeling hungry and I only had the cereal and banana later on. Now, I'm starving! So, sometimes it just depends on the day and also what our day before was like. Yesterday I worked out pretty hard and stayed around 1600calories, which is higher than my normal but because I did pretty much exhaust my body it was probably a little low.

Anyhow, I hope you make it to lunch time! I would recommend keeping some high protein and fiber options at work. I keep something like that in the car now just in case I'm out and need a quick bite to eat. It saves me from stopping and getting junky food that I'll regret later. :D

Maybe a light breakfast sandwich or some coffee with creamer can help?
Protein and fat in the morning meal are a great way to get your metabolism kick-started! :)

I add some cinnamon powder in almost everything I eat.

You know cinnamon helps to keep insulin levels in check and curbs your appetite.

It really works for me.

You should try once.

I add it to my coffee (keep a shaker at work too!), my smoothies, and my yogurt. Besides the health benes, it sure tastes good and adds a little sweetness.

I love the smell and taste of cinnamon.

Pour honey into a cup of warm milk and add one cannimon stick.

I usually drink at least one cup of milk with honey & cinnamon per day.

Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a try.

These are are really great! I am writing them down now, lol. I definitely will try adding cinnamon, and I also am interested in the True Citrus. Definitely will be ordering some soon. You are all giving me a grocery list for my next trip to the store! Woo!

Hopefully you got over that day of hunger in December!

Protein for me! Or something that keeps me very full with fiber:

Greek yogurt with some Kashi GoLean mixed in for crunch
Shirataki noodles with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese

Love the idea of putting the True Citrus in the unflavored yogurt - and add some stevia, yum! I'm a big fan of their products and love that they don't use the chemical sweeteners.

Another idea for a quick and easy way to get some protein for breakfast is to have a peanut butter sandwich. Can't hardly get faster or easier than that. That's actually my usual breakfast and boy to I notice the difference if I have something else.

I use low calorie bread (Sara Lee 45 and Delicious) and less then one serving of PB. Usually comes in at about 220 calories. Add an apple or something mid morning and you've started the day out well. ^_^

I did a 6 oz of NF Berry yogurt and 1 C of Kashi Go Lean Crunch.
Cal: 300 Protein: 16 Fat: 3 Fiber: 8
I also had a Large Vanilla Sugar Free NF latte and I wasn't hungry for 4 hours. I was thrilled!

I make a delicious porridge thats half stewed fruit for breakfast. It's 160 calories and it fills me for hours. It is amazing! I also recommend it for a broken heart. It's a comforting food.

I put the recipe on the breakfast/lunch under 400 thread a little while ago.
