> "I tend not to have cravings until after I’ve had my first real meal
Very much the case for me too, to the point that I can "forget" to eat all day so long as I really don't actually eat even a bit.
More importantly, though, I've found I can duplicate this effect to a great extent by strictly eliminating carbs from my first meal, and then a eating a proper square old-fashioned "dinner" in the afternoon. This has other benefits for me as well, the most noticeable being that I don't suffer grinding foggy sleepiness at midmorning or late afternoon. It also lets me be satisfied with a light supper later on, which is critical for my sleep. Big meals before bed leave me tossing and turning until early morning.
A sugary breakfast, on the other hand, will fuck up my whole day.
