Do you find yourself hungry an hour or so after eating breakfast? It could be that you need to eat a morning meal that’s higher in fiber. Fiber takes longer to digest and makes you feel fuller for longer, meaning you don’t get the 10 a.m. munchies.
Swipe through to learn about high-fiber breakfast options.
If you love pancakes, make them with whole grains, which have a higher fiber content than highly processed flour. You can find whole-grain pancake mixes at the grocery or, if making hotcakes from scratch, use whole wheat flour. You can also toss in some cornmeal for additional fiber.

Oatmeal is a very nutritious breakfast. Its high fiber content can aid digestion, lower cholesterol, and help regulate blood sugar levels. Oatmeal is also a good source of thiamine, manganese and iron. Top your oatmeal with nuts for even more fiber.
If scrambled eggs are a go-to breakfast for you, try adding some spinach, bell pepper or mushrooms to your morning scramble. Not only do these veggies add great flavor, but they add nutritious fiber, as well.
Everyone likes to make fun of avocado toast, but it really is good for you, not to mention delicious. Avocado is a great source of fiber, and paired with whole-grain toast, you’ll have a fantastic breakfast that keeps you full until lunch.
