I also find that if I eat something "mainly carb" like cereal for breakfast, I am hungry again pretty fast and it "sets me off" to want more...but if I have a thin piece of whole grain bread along with protein, ie, eggs or chicken along with some V8, I'm good to go and don't have any cravings. I like eggs, but got to where I can't eat them every day..so sometimes, I'll eat something for breakfast like a chicken sandwich made with one piece of bread, folded over and load it up with spinich and that it really keeps the cravings at bay.
I only do pasta/rice a couple of times a week, and only a small amount with the bulk of the meal being vegs and protein. Those really are the "trigger foods" that "set me off", so I really have to eat them in very small amounts and not often as I would like...cause my former "weakness" was white rice and white pasta.
