Porridge always sets like concrete in me
Cant get rid of it either
So I steer totally clear of it .
Never been able to tolerate it ..
I have never been able to tolerate eating breakfasts
Only feel hungry after 11am since being young and still
same as even now .
Often used to nibble a ham slice and a sliced boiled egg, grapefruit I adore
Keeps me going till after 2pm on this trick of mine .
Still do this to this day too .
Tea time is really the main meal time for me .
I can only eat a more substantial meal at the latter end of the day .
A small meal is better with myself and a light bite more suitable too .
Am a nibbler the rest of the day little and often is my motto for me .
Bit like keeping my engine chugging along nicely .
I love and favour proteins to do this with .
Different certainly but it is what works for me

You be better with bran flakes or other bran cereal other than cornflakes, High Glycemic Load cornflakes, where as bran is low.Never really been a big breakfast eater myself so a half a grapefruit or a slice of toast or a small portion of around 17-20 grams of cornflakes with a splash of semi skimmed milk does me OK, I never get hungry till lunch and I will often go till 1.00 or 2.00pm before I realise I feel hungry.
This is not always a good thing as I find if I test my bg levels at between midday I will get a reading in the mid 5's but if I leave it till 2.00pm I find my levels will have started rise to around the mid 6's.
I know many people say that breakfast is the most important meal but I have never wanted to eat in the mornings even when I did a very physical job I could never eat much for breakfast.
I guess we are all different eh?

Kat, my wife bought some Vegemite last year as a change from Marmite, it was awful and we ended up throwing it out as no one liked it in our family, so we've stuck with Marmite

Downunder we call vegemite axle grease.
How people can eat that stuff is beyond me. There ain't no in between, you either love it (and you're an idiot) or you hate it (wise WISE person)
It is the WORST thing I've ever tasted

No offence, but why would you not eat the egg yolks?I love a good egg white omlette with asparagus, green tea on the side (unsweetened, of course), and a high fiber piece of bread with avocado, cucumbers and tomatoes on top!
And never underestimate the tastiness of a bowl of steel cut oatmeal done right
