so...My preferred breakfast would be white toast. I tried two slices of Warburtons Toastie with Lurpak Lighter this morning....

8AM - Before eating = 6.0
10AM - after eating = 7.6

Too high?
*EDIT - with a cup of tea and another at 9AM
 
Mostly I have eggs - omelette, boiled or poached with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes and the occasional rasher of back bacon. But for a change I will have 1 Oatibix or 25gm oatbran or porridge with unsweetened almond milk and a few berries

The numbers look good, but it depends on whether you feel hungry before lunch time having had little protein or healthy fats at breakfast.

Healthy fats? Should i be spreading Lurpak NOT lighter instead?
 
Personally, I use proper butter but you could have some cheese, egg or avocado on your toast.
I like the idea of cheese on toast for breakfast :D
 
Wordle, Quordle and Octordle are online 5 letter word games which take just a few minutes of head scratching to complete and are addictive. You will find them I am sure via whichever web search engine you use. Wordle was bought by the New York Times. Personally, I don't find adverts an issue.
I do this one each day - hard and daily mode. I also do Quordle and Wordle - I didn't know about Octordle so thanks for that - another one to add to my routine.

Is there something so wrong with feeling hungry before you eat?
I'm just about to make mushroom soup.
Yes, I'm feeling hungry.
If I didn't, I wouldn't bother eating purely out of routine.

I didn't mean when it was time for lunch but way before so you would be tempted by biscuits mid morning. Nothing wrong with being hungry when it is time to eat, otherwise why bother eating.

I am pretty good at not snacking - that isnt really an issue for me 🙂

I doubt anyone on here is tempted by biscuits mid morning.
I give us all credit for having good control, or we wouldn't be here.
Why do you believe some chomp through food all day?
I don't even buy biscuits anymore, let alone keep them for and hoc snacks.

I have cheese on toast sometimes. I can't have 'proper' ready made bread but I make my own loaves of bread that only have 1g carb per slice and I have them instead. I like tomatoes on toast with cheese too but that is a rare treat and I need to exercise afterwards.

I do have ham, cheese, tomato and spring onion, with a dash of Worcester sauce for breakfast sometimes.
 
These days I find even the concept of eating multiple times a day rather strange.
So far today I have eaten a tomato - the meat and tea I was going to have are in the fridge, having sat for a couple of hours in the kitchen forgotten.

They can be filling things those tomatos, I can only manage half.
 
I have 40g of all bran with 40g of raspberries or strawberries or blueberries, and semi skimmed milk, which has little effect on my BS, toast or any bread is my nemesis, did love toast or even bread fresh from the oven smothered in jam or marmalade mmmm.....:(
 
Why do you believe some chomp through food all day?
I'm always hungry LOL! Especially throughout the morning. Some days, it really does feel like I don't stop eating. Think I must have a worm to feed... 😱

My office has piles of biscuits and cakes in the kitchen virtually every day.
I don't touch them. Some people even crack jokes about all the cakes and biscuits will end up giving them diabetes!
