I've recently began to work out (cardio specifically), but I find myself getting hungrier quicker. I will eat breakfast, and usually 3 hours later I get really hungry when usually I eat 4-4.5 hours in between each meal. What do you suggest I do differently? Thanks

This happens to me too! The following is what helps me make it lunchtime: 

  • Savory, protein filled breakfast (i.e. scrambled eggs & black beans) 
  • Fiber filled breakfast (i.e overnight oats made with old-fashioned oatmeal, plain greek yogurt, a little bit of water, & frozen berries) 
  • Eating 400-600 calories for breakfast after a workout. 
  • Cup of unsweetened tea or coffee 3 hours after breakfast.
  • HAVE THINGS TO DO! Plan something to do for 4 hours so you don’t get bored & want to snack. 
Mainly, it’s important to have a balanced and substantial breakfast after exercising in the morning. I try to go 4 hours between meals & not to have a mid-morning snack to give my body a break from…well..eating & digesting. 
How about you? What’s the one fail-proof meal that gets you from breakfast to lunchtime no-problem?
