    I seem to have found the right balance between macronutrients to keep me satisfied.
    Both have 68g carbs and 3g fat. The Optimum Slim cereal with raisins has 12g fibre and 14g protein; and the hemp breakfast shake also has 11g fibre with 16g protein.

I was just thinking that if you eat breakfast really early, you may not want to wait until noon to eat again (whether you're hungry or not!). I tend to think the world runs on my time--I am up by 5am every weekday


    lol

    Sorry, I think I posted it somewhere in this thread. The concoction that's currently in favour with me is:
    5½ oz banana, 1 cup cranberry juice, 2 tblsp. hemp protein powder, crushed ice. I just zuzz it all together in the blender.

    I get the protein powder from my local organic market. It's Living Harvest Original Flavor Hemp Protein Powder. I started drinking a shake for breakfast because I just couldn't face eating "real" food first thing on a morning. Then I discovered this hemp powder which is great for bumping up the fibre as well as protein. 110 kcals in 1 serving (2 tblsp.).

    Thanks for letting me know. I was confused by that one

    What I like:

    hot cereal (oatmeal, grits or something), with flaxseeds, wheat germ or applesauce.

    cold cereal--high fiber like Shredded Wheat, with sliced banana or dried cherries

    eggs and vegetarian sausage

    frozen waffle with peanut butter and sliced banana.

    I agree about eating a small amount q. 3-4 hours. It makes a huge difference for me. Sometimes I do a few walnuts midafternoon and I can stay full until dinner.

    I make a packet of instant oatmeal and mix in a cup of frozen blueberries after the oatmeal is cooked. It takes 2 minutes to make and you can eat it a lot faster since the blueberries cool it down (lol I'd rather sleep in later than take time to eat slower... ).
