Have a high fat + protein breakfast.
Doing this consistently, I NEVER crave sugar, even whilst I’m currently in a caloric deficit.
I’ve tried intermittent fasting as well as carb-heavy breakfasts and both lead me to have mad fluctuations in energy/mood/hunger, this is due to blood sugar. I also craved sugar loads and was prone to binge eat.
Your breakfast can have some carbs for general energy but it should be primarily fat and protein, the combination of both these macros keep me satisfied for a very long time, also my energy/mood is better.
My breakfast:
3 scrambled eggs with butter on 2 toasts + 2 slices of cheese.
I workout in the evening and have most of my day’s carbs in the meals before and after the workout. Carbs are still important, especially for gym performance so don’t completely cut them out.
