Also the admonition of always eating breakfast. We have heard that over and over, but has it been proved? Sure, if not eating breakfast causes you to turn into a ravening beast come lunch, that's a clear indication that you need to eat. But not everyone has that reaction. These days I only have a latte for breakfast and I find it has little impact on my appetite.



My day starts without specifically eating breakfast....I'll have my coffee, but eating has to wait....usually mid-AM I'll eat something for 'breakfast' but not any sooner than an hour or more after I wake up! I've done the eat breakfast soon after waking up, and totally skipping it all together....for me, it doesn't seem to factor into how much I wind up eating in a day overall, or my hunger at lunch or later in the day.....what I've found has the greatest impact on hunger later in the day is not enough protein earlier!
