breakfast usually consists of a breakfast sandwich or a bowl of cereal. Most days with a yogurt. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll make some waffles.
lunch is usually a sandwich (pb&j), bowl of chicken noodle soup or one of those lean cuisine pizzas or philly steak and cheese.
Dinner is a main course (chicken, pork, fish) with a veggie side. The veggies usually are more than the main course.
I don't drink a lot of soda. Iced tea, water mostly.
I do have a snack of an apple or small bag of nuts or something similar.
Sounds fairly close to my old diet, and I used to get insanely hungry after eating breakfast, which just snowballed the rest of my day.
This isn't about willpower, its likely about what kind of things are added to the foods you're eating, namely various forms of sugar. I know that the ingredient lists of things I thought were healthy turned out not to be the case.
Check the levels of sugars in anything packaged. That should be square 1, to reduce your sugar intake as much as humanly possible. Natural sugars from fresh fruits are generally OK though.
Give that a shot first, and let us know how that goes. Considering that there are only like 3 breakfast cereals on the market without sugar, i'd bet that you're starting your day off on the wrong foot by eating too much sugar.
