Eating protein will keep you fuller, longer. Perhaps try adding some low-fat, plain (or flavoured) yogurt, an ounce or two of low fat cheese or a handful or two of nuts like almonds or walnuts (the nuts could even be mixed in with your cereal). Eating protein at each meal makes a big difference. I followed an eating plan a number of years ago when I wanted to lose 7 or 8 pounds which I had put on that required eating 1 ounce of protein at breakfast and 3 - 4 ounces with lunch and dinner as well as limiting (but not restricting) carbs (bread, potatoes, rice), and I lost the 8 pounds plus a lot more (went down to a size 4) and had more energy and felt better than I had in years. It was a great plan and I never felt deprived nor did I have to eat anything that grosses me out (like cottage cheese or canned tuna -YUK). A lot of my friends also followed the plan and did very well on it.
> I am trying to cut bread out of my diet. I mentioned before that I have low fat cereal in the morning for breakfast. Well, when I do my stomach growls about 45 minutes later. If I have 2 slices of toast I can manage till lunch even though I still get hungry.
