  The crazy thing about diets is how differently everyone responds to different plans. For me, if I eat anything significant for breakfast (lets say > 400 calories), I am STARVING by the time lunch rolls around at noon. Like, stomach in pain, I need food now, I'll have 2 pounds of wings and a side of macaroni, thanks. But that overindulging doesn't carry over to dinner, which is pretty typical. So, the synthesis of all of that is eating breakfast significantly increases my caloric intake for the day, despite having no measurable difference on energy, mood, etc. If there are any rules that have worked for me, it's: Eat less, Eat less often, and Avoid carbs.

    I find this true on a high carb breakfast (which most breakfasts are). If I eat 4 eggs for breakfast I easily go until dinner without eating, but will usually eat around 3pm. Then some days skip dinner.

  Try having lots of beans at dinner. The resistant starch gives you a "second meal effect" the following morning.
