like I said dude, enjoy the taste and feel pretty damn satisfied after eating a bowl of cereal...heck I could probably eat 2 bowls of cereal a day and a meal in the evening and feel satisfied thanks very much! In fact that's pretty much what my diet is going to be some weeks for the next couple of months because financially it's looking grim :(. Still could be worse, I could be Greek!
Nothing will keep a person feeling full longer, or keep energy levels more consistent through the day than a meal rich in protein and fat.
When I eat a breakfast of steak and almonds as I have been lately, I can have it at 6:30 am and not even start to feel hungry until around 1-2 pm, and I'm full of energy all day rather than crashing mid-morning. Cereal can't do that. Honestly, a generous plate of bacon and eggs would be more satisfying in that regard.
A study is here
For some reason (lol as if) eating high carb diets do not keep you full, but eating high protein diets do
I cannot believe they still have studies that show this. eating carbohydrates spikes insulin and when it drops you eat more carbohydrates to spike insulin. Eating too much food makes you fat
Incidentally eating too much protein more or less cannot make you fat. That's because you cannot (I'd like to see you try) overeat calories on a pure protein diet. (For example, a 2000 Cal diet is 500 grams of protein; not meat - protein)
Therefore excess calories is almost always caused by carbs or fat
Calories Raise Body Fat When People Overeat, Not Protein
This potatoes/ham/gravy stew thing I eat for lunch sometimes is the most filling meal I've ever had in my life. The whole thing can fit inside a cup but after I eat it I won't be hungry for like eight hours. It's perfect for work when I don't know when I'll be eating next.
My morning goes like this:
8:45-wake up
9:00-be at work
I don't have time for breakfast!
Wake up earlier...
I get up at 5:45 to make it to work before 6:30. At work I usually eat a bowl of cereal and some fruit or a granola bar.
I'm usually not hungry at lunch time, but I eat anyways. And then I am not hungry until 7-8pm, but usually eat before that anyways too. That way I am never actually hungry.
I haven't eaten breakfast since I was homeless lol. And that's only because I had found food in the morning. I never eat breakfast... unless it's a pound and a half of bacon.
Children.
I just had a wonderful breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs and sausage with colby jack cheese wrapped in a tortilla and some pineapple orange juice. It was pretty much perfect.
I'm a stereotypical student. I either grab a piece of bread as I quickly dash to University, or I do my usual thing of going to Greggs and getting a meat and potato pasty and a bottle of Dr Pepper. Yeaaahh.
