The key factor in monitoring your hunger is to determine whether you’re hungry and loopy or hungry and alert. Old science told you, if you are hungry tough it out.
Food monitoring such as:
Grams, food label, serving size, and zone blocks
Physiology monitoring such as:
Gut: hunger, stool density
Brain: mental focus, food cravings, and sleep
3. Why eat your breakfast
If you skip breakfast it becomes a hormonal set-up for night eating syndrome and you gain weight like a sumo wrestler. Old science said, it is OK to skip breakfast.
