Barry Groves (Eat Fat Get Thin) has a whole chapter devoted to the benefits of eating a hearty breakfast. He cites studies which showed that if you eat a breakfast with a MINIMUM of 22g protein, your blood sugars will stay at a healthy level for the rest of the day . This is important for those of us that suffer with the symptoms quoted above (hypoglycemia), cravings and hunger. He also recommends using 1/3 of your daily calories for breakfast. I tried it yesterday and it worked like a charm....for the first time in years, I didn't need between-meal snacks to stabilize my blood sugar!! May have just been a fluke, but...........maybe not!
