breakfast makes you hungrier for the rest of the day - especially if it's carby and kicks off a blood-sugar surge/crash cycle.
Interesting.
The breakdown of my muesli + apple juice is 93g carbs, 2g fat, 9g protein. But I more typically have two poached eggs on granary toast with butter and marmite, which works out at 37g carbs, 18g fat, 23g protein - a huge difference, even though the overall calorie count is roughly the same. And I do find the eggs do a
much better job of keeping me going until lunch. In light of your comments, that breakdown might explain why.
If I'm doing the longer ride to work, I save breakfast until after the ride, sometimes not until I get to work at 9.30-10am, otherwise I have it first thing when I wake up, usually by 7am at the latest.
On Saturdays, the ritual is a substantial cooked breakfast/brunch at around 11.30am, after parkrun, and then nothing until teatime.
Today was muesli for breakfast with a cup of tea, short ride to the station, one cup of coffee at work, 8km lunchtime run, and now I'm about to have my lunch of leftover spag bol (585kcal, 85g carbs, 13g fat, 33g protein). I try to delay lunch as late as possible as my next meal will be when I get home at about 8pm and I want to avoid the temptation to snack between lunch and dinner.
