I get hungry twice in the morning. Once as soon as I get out of bed, and then again at about 10 pm. I've always been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and shouldn't be a starvation meal. If you like your oatmeal and banana, consider having the oatmeal with half the banana sliced on it, with a very small glass of juice. Then eat the other half of the banana a little later.

Variety in meals is kind of important to me. Eating oatmeal and a banana every day would get pretty old. I am a yogurt fan, so eat that often. Sometimes I eat a protein bar, if on the run. Eggs with veggies and whole wheat toast on the weekend. Maybe a smoothie sometimes. Even a toasted whole grain waffle with a little peanut butter and jam is good. Or if you love the bananas, you can even spread the toasted whole grain waffle with banana and top that with jam or fresh berries. Yum!

Maybe consider taking a multi-vitamin if you don't think you eat enough during the day. I take just a small one with 100% of the dailies.
