Have you thought about having a more substantial breakfast then?

Why not add some lean turkey sausage or bacon or the morningstar sausages?? Or have the whole egg. It only adds 60 calories and a lot of the nutrients are in the yolk. You might as well finish it as long as you don't have like five eggs per day.

If you eat more food early it might help you control the cravings later in the day.

PLUS you are having a lot of carbohydrates in the morning and when it comes to assuaging hunger...they're not the best. The effect on your blood sugar levels will mean that you're hungry in a shorter amount of time. You might have better luck feeling full for longer if you add the lean protein and a little more fat in.

No self control...no restraint. I come home still full from lunch so I don't eat dinner. If I do it's a bowl of cereal or something light.
