I usually don't eat breakfast, but lately I've made an effort to because I know you eat more at lunch if you don't and it's not good for weight loss blah blah blah...
Yesterday I had oatmeal at 8:30 and I was hungry about 2 hours and had a 100-calorie pack later. I don't think I ate as much for lunch as I do normally (which is good I guess), but I was still hungry by the time lunch rolled around.
Today, I had one of those not-so-bad Jimmy Dean Breakfast sandwiches: Egg, Canadian Bacon and cheese on an english muffin. Only 210 calories! Tasty too. Anyway, I'm hungry again. WHYYYYYYY

Re: Is it normal to always be hungry?
I think it is, that could be because I am ALWAYS hungry too.
the best 'diet' is small meals every 2 hours for me. . . . because I am always hungry. I'll have breakfast at 8:30 -9 then a snack at 10:30, lunch at 12, snack at 2 then dinner at 6 sometimes I'll have another snack between the last snack and dinner.
I feel your hunger pains

Only 4.5g!
But you're right, it's b/c I'm bored at work
I should do what Marie said and maybe bring snacks with me, otherwise I'm going to go home and BINGE.

Re: Is it normal to always be hungry?
Definitely need more fiber and protein in there...those keep you full!
But if you're looking for something easy to snack on, a go-to for me is a WW string cheese + an apple...or any other serving of fruit. Yeah, fruit's got sugar, blah blah blah but so do the 100 cal packs, and the combo of fruit + cheese is way more satisfying.
The only 100 cal packs that I find to be truly satisfying are the bags of microwave popcorn.
I occasionally buy single 100 cal bags of cookies from the newsstand downstairs just for that sweet craving.

Re: Is it normal to always be hungry?
I know it's not good to skip breakfast but the days I do eat breakfast, I am STARVINGGG by lunchtime!! I dunno if it's because it kicks your metabolism in gear or something but I def feel like I eat more all day.
I usually have a huge mug of tea with soymilk and honey and it holds me until noon. Probably not the healthiest way to go but it keeps me from raiding my coworker's cabinet.

I pack the biggest bag everyday for work; tons of snacks, I don't really think I eat a 'meal'....but I am always hungry, that's why I eat every 2-3 hours or so,,,, I've been the same weight since I was in HS! I'm 29 next month!

I got it from a WW leader. It's my mantra.
+ I'd rather save any splurges for the weekend...like when I'm out with friends and stuff.

Re: Is it normal to always be hungry?
I'm the same exact way. If I eat breakfast, I'm hungry all day long. If I don't, I'm not hungry till around dinner time, which I know is not good! I'm pretty sure it has to do with your metabolism.

It's actually a lot healthier and will help you lose weight if you eat 6 small meals a day. I'm rereading this book Eat Clean and it's sooo amazing. Now, if you're eating 6 small meals, they need to be QUALITY CLEAN foods. Protein, complex carbs (fruits/veggies/whole grains). Try to eat every 2 -3 hours. Always mix proteins and complex carbs. This will help you lose weight and be healthier. Check out her book.
