Your whole diet determined by your breakfast?

[IrishJack89]

Hey folks, I'm just wondering if you eat a good breakfast will that determine how well you will eat for the rest of the day? I'm not going by any studies or anything but the last few weeks I have only been eating 3 weetabix biscuits with a small bit of protein powder for milk. I'm almost always as hungry after the weetabix then I was before eating them. This I think then has me feeling hungry more or less throughout the day. Today I ate weetabix, an apple, some grapes and water melon and a bagel for breakfast(within about 45 mins of each other). I feel that was a bit much but I havent been getting 2 many craving throughout the day and 6 hours later I have only had a protein shake and a chicken breast and don't actually feel all that hungry. Sorry about the rant but can anyone tell me why this is and should I be doing this from now on?

Sounds like you're being to restrictive. Lighten up and find some foods that satisfy you and you enjoy eating while still reaching your daily goals..

Nope. Despite what so called experts will tell you, breakfast isn't more important than other meals. However, individual preference and reactions will still dictate whether you choose to eat breakfast, the composition of that meal, and the size of it. For example, I work with people who simply cannot function without eating in the morning, but I haven't relied on a morning meal since junior high.

Sounds like breakfast is important for you. So eat breakfast.

Total daily intake of energy (calories) and micro/macronutrient sufficiency are what matter. In fact, there's no need to eat breakfast (as in a morning meal) if you don't want to. It's just a matter of personal preference as to when you eat and how you partition your nutrients, as long as you meet your daily intake goals.
