I started working out hardcore a few weeks ago, and now my metab it skyrocketing (again).
This morning I had a typical breakfast of eggs and two pieces of whole-grain toast with added veggies (including avocado).
When I returned to the kitchen, I peeked into the fridge and caught sight of the leftover chana masala. I proceeded to grab the remaining half-piece of naan bread to help me scarf down at least a half cup of chana...on top of what I thought was my complete breakfast.... So if anyone wants to lose weight, I recommend lifting weights.
Anyway, I came in here to mention that it might help to take a look at your calorie distribution throughout the day. If you eat most of them in the latter half of your day, this might be causing the problem of not being hungry enough for breakfast.
I think I consume 60 to 70% of my calories by 1:00, unless I have a workout in the evening. By this time, I've had a big breakfast, a lunch, and a fairly big snack, if not a second lunch. Try arranging things so you aren't going home hungry before you've even thought of supper. If you're starving for supper, you might have waited too long to eat.
I try to go no longer than four hours between feeding times.
