Lunch never makes it past 10:30

Why is it no matter how much I say I will wait until lunch to eat my wraps or sandwiches which I make the night before I never do! And then at lunch I’m hungry and go any buy more!

I stick to 2500 calories a day and often leave myself short in the evening as I’m so hungry in the day…

I eat around 300 calories for breakfast then about 1500 between 9 – 5 and then around 400 in the evening! So strange maybe I eat out of boredom…

Are you drinking plenty of water?

It's a struggle at first if you're body's not used to it, but well worth it. in the longer term.

I have read somewhere that sometimes you eat because you misunderstand the messages that your body is needing water.

It also helps to make you feel more full

yeah i do try, but i find it hard to keep up if you know what i mean

If I was eating only 300 calories at breakfast, I'd be starving too. Early morning is a time when you can consume more calories, although I'm obviously not suggesting you down a couple of greasy fried breakfasts.

Sitting there with a rumbling stomach does you no good. If you go to the gym, and even perform a modest amount of cardio, that doesn't leave your body a lot to play with energy wise. You won't get fat on 2,500 calories a day I'd have thought.

i work out for 45 mins every morning before i eat too! maybe that does not help
