Does breakfast make you hungry?
When you eat breakfast in the morning do you find you are hungrier throughout the day? I recently had someone comment that this was what they experienced and for that reason they choose not to eat breakfast.
So, let’s address why this may happen and what you can do if you find eating breakfast increases your hunger.
First of all, there are two potential reasons breakfast can increase your hunger later in the morning.
1. Higher metabolism
When you do not eat breakfast the body naturally adapts and conserves energy by slowing your metabolism and decreasing hunger. This adaptive function can lead to bad habits of not eating breakfast then also skipping lunch because you just don’t feel hungry and not eating your first meal until the middle of the afternoon. The major benefit of eating a healthy breakfast is to jump start your metabolism so you burn more calories throughout the day to promote weight loss. This elevated metabolic rate may cause feelings of hunger mid-morning. It is okay to satisfy this hunger with a small snack, such as a handful of mixed nuts.
2. High carbohydrate breakfast

How does your BMI measure up?
Being overweight increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. A quick and easy way to evaluate your risk is to check your body mass index (BMI).
To calculate your BMI all you need to know is your height and weight. Let’s calculate your BMI right now.
BMI = weight (lbs.) divided by height (in.) divided by height (in.) x 703
For example, if you weight is 200 pounds and you are 5’10” (70 in.), your BMI equals 29.
200 divided by 70 divided by 70 x 703 = 28.7
