Hi
I know that eating breakfast is really important when you first get up, but if I eat too much too early I find I'm ravenous at about 11:00/11:30 and start attacking my lunch and it all goes down hill from there...Is it enough to eat a portion of fruit like melon or an apple when I first wake up at about 08:00 and then later to have cereal at 09:30 to stop me getting the mid-morning munchies - I know that if you don't eat enough in the morning your body goes into starvation mode, and stores the calories, is my portion of fruit enough to prevent this?
I know we nutritionists bang on about breakfast a lot, but there?s still room for leeway to do what suits you,. Many people find that changing the type of breakfast they eat can make a difference too, Swapping to something protein based, like a boiled egg can help you keep fuller longer, or go for higher fibre, slower releasing (also know as low GI), carbs such as porridge, All Bran or baked beans.
