How many calories, or what % of total daily intake should I consume as my breakfast meal? I had a pretty big breakfast this morning, and am wondering about what is considered to be a decent size in relation to the rest of the day's meals.
How important do you think eating a big breakfast is? Do you think it's more of a matter of controlling the appetite, or does it actually "rev" the metabolism for the rest of the day?
Cottage cheese, yogurt, grapes, grapefruit, oat bran, EFA capsules, decaf coffee with milk.
The macros came out to this: 488 kcals, 7.7 g fat, 81.3 g carbs, 48.9 g protein.
I usually eat about 1,400 calories a day (120 g protein).
I don't usually eat this much, but was pretty hungry this morning...now I'm pretty full! I'm not sure if I've been eating enough kcals on a daily basis, yet whenever I eat more, I end up feeling pretty bloatey! I can't tell if the bloating is from not eating enough the rest of the time, or if it's from eating too much at one time! Am I eating enough/too much?
