I eat breakfast between 7:15-7:30 and usually get pretty ravenous by 11:00. What breakfast does actually fill you up until lunchtime, but is quick enough to eat on a busy morning, and not too painful to force down?

My biggest success is actually a big bowl Shreddies… 😳 I find porridge doesn’t work unless eaten in large quantities, which quickly becomes tiring. Any sage advice?

Porridge – good quality oats. C’mon, how can eating be tiring?

Alpen works pretty well for me, but it can also be quite tiresome to eat as well.

Porridge, add a load of dried fruit as you make it, stir in a tablespoon of honey then whack a ‘nana on the top when it’s done. Aww yeeeeah.

Porridge seems to work for a few hours for me but then after that, normally at 11 I’m starving again.

full english.

Dorset Cereals. Although to be fair I eat something roughly every hour.

You have three options:

1. Proper porridghe made with whole oats, not that wallpaper paste Scotts and the like sell.

2. Eat breakfast later in the morning.

3. Own yourself with some bombers.

Just had my sausage and egg butty this morning.
Usually keeps me going till lunch.

Not quite lunchtime, but second breakfast usually tides me over till elevensies

What you need is a two stage breakfast system. I eat two small breakfasts, small bowl of cereal at 0530 then a fruit scone at 0800 for morning tea. Keeps me going until first lunch at 1200.

Porrage for me. With Muscavado sugar and cream for a treat.

for the last 2 weeks i’ve had 2 poached eggs on toast (and the occasional kipper) and i’ve been full all the way until the afternooon.

I used to have cereal but was always hungry at 11.. seems to work for me

Ok, since I am stubbornly going to refuse to give porridge another chance, what I am getting from this thread is an excuse to add another meal to my day.

Porridge again for me or otherwise museli with lots of nuts in seems to keep me going for longer than other cereals.

or a steak 🙂

uncooked porridge oats (the quick cook variety) seems to work better for me than cooked porridge. (very normal breakfast here in Denmark)

Having said that I am getting fatter and fatter at the moment so perhaps my advice should be avoided at all costs.

Two bags of porridge [oats so simple I think] does me well. Failing that, four weetabix with the sides of the bowl filled with muesli and some dried fruit sprinkled fills you up too although makes you pretty regular too!

porridge is puke inducingly horrid

sainsburys fruit and nut muesli for the win. any other brand is a bit crap but the saisburys one is a winner. lots of dried fruit nuts and raisins. yummy.

big bowl and 6 weetabix

I just had left-over curry from last night. Reckon I’ll be full till dinner time.
If porridge isn’t doing it for you, try mixing protein and carbs. Mixing them rather than just eating one food group keeps food in your stomach for longer meaning you feel full for longer.

Sausage sandwich loads of ketchup.

A Nature Valley granola bar at 07:30am does me til 12.45pm.

You lot eat like little birds -1st breakfast 5:30am – big bowl of cereal or 5-6 weetabix followed by 4 slices of toast & a banana,washed down with a mug of tea..
2nd breakfast 10am – Another big bowl of cereal followed by a banana & then either a nutty bar or mars bar,usually the latter….
That keeps me going till 12:30,just….

try mixing protein and carbs

Aye, as in cereal and milk? 🙄

Lidls muesli.

So much easier to eat a big portion than all the other mueslis – it actually contains more fruit than dust.

Muesli for me. Also a bacon sandwich, beans on toast or something else cooked.

Dare I suggest that you’re not actually ravenous, and you should perhaps learn to deal with the slight hunger pangs you feel around mid-morning. Water helps.

iDave would turn in his grave at this thread. If, say, he had died from eating too many pulses.

Kate Moss in disguise?

Poached eggs, spinach and salmon steak. And there’s nothing wrong with being a bit hungry. And MTFU

I find a bowl of fruit & fibre or couple slices toast (especially with peanut butter) first thing, and then a banana around 9-9.30 is usually sufficient until mid-day. Even with decent porridge I feel hungry around 11 too, and don’t fancy downing huge bowlfuls.

I eat a loaf of bread and three bowls of coco pops for breakfast. I need to lose 12 stone for my road trip to Llangdegla next summer. Where do I start?

Kate Moss in disguise?

Nah, I’d have suggested coke and fags if I was 😀

You just need to eat a bit more

iDave are you gonna call me back or what?

Yes, I am MG, despite my woman-flu and hectic lifestyle choices. Sorry, will talk later.

personally I see nothing wrong with a mid-morning snack

More protein seems to fill me up for longer.

Go to work on an egg?
