Eating some protein with breakfast will put the brakes on any hunger pains. I am a quasi lacto, ova, aqua, vegetarian. Protein digests slowly and gives you sustained energy throughout the day. People who skip breakfast or eat only simple carbs first thing in the morning have cravings for more carbs at lunch time and at dinner because they have low energy levels.
For breakfat I'll usually have a protein shake made from soy protein isolate, water, banana, a scoop of peanut butter, and frozen strawberries. Than I'll have some whole grain cereal i.e. GoLean cereal. Or I may have instead four egg whites and a slice of Ezekiel 4.9 sprouted grain bread with almond butter. If I'm still hungry I'll have a serving of steel-cut oatmeal with soy milk.
For lunch it's tuna or sliced turkey breast on a whole wheat pita bread and a salad or vegetable soup.
Make sure you workout within two to three hours after eating. After your workout if you're hungry try eating a banana and some walnuts. The healthy oils in walnuts and almonds will send the message to your brain that your stomach is full in about 15 minutes. Eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, think positive, and success will be yours.
