I tend to have a snack at around 11am or I'd be ravenous by 1pm! Perhaps try having a slightly bigger breakfast with lots of slow burning carbs like oats, or poached eggs on brown toast and see if that helps at all! All our bodies work differently!

A lot of people find eating 5 meals a day better than 3 larger ones, maybe this approach might suit your metabolism too - worth a try! Bon Appetit! I kind of 'need' a big dinner so stick to a small breakfast and lunch hence why I get hungry at 11 I guess!

Thanks to those of you who replied without getting annoyed at my question! To the rest, you didn't have to open the thread and you didn't have to reply! Live and let live! I find I get hungry by late morning, I think it is a bit of a catch up as you don't eat all night and then breakfast just doesn't quite keep me going. :)

If you are worried about snacking in the afternoon, try and only snack on fruit or some veg sticks? 11am is ok to eat lunch if you ate breakfast at 7, i always try and eat at 12 but sometimes hunger strikes and as a previous poster said when the pack lunch is looking at you its hard to resist.

Seriously, people ask the most inane questions on this forum! Perhaps the OP is just needing some words of support through a diet or something. Ask away. :)

Seriously, people ask the most inane questions on this forum! Everything doesn't have to be "Where can I find..." and "My maid..." It lightens things up a bit.

Eat it when you want. One of the peculiarities of taking a packed lunch to work is that it makes you hungry just looking at it. Have a snack mid afternoon and bob's your uncle.
