I get days like that. It makes no sense sometimes, though it is often relative to how much else is going on in my day.

Perhaps you could try having some protein with each meal. I do that anyway. So, for example, if I was having shredded wheat, I would either follow it with a smoothie (frozen fruit, milk and yoghurt), or I'd stick yoghurt on the SW

)

I find half a dozen almonds a god send if I have a hungry day. Just keep a few in a little bag in my pocket and nibble away if I'm hungry before something is due.

They don't give me that "oooohhhh, full now" sensation, but they can definitely keep my hunger at bay until the next mealtime.
