Now that I am a parent I often eat work for breakfast.
I've found that two things cause massive hunger in my case: a diet rich in added sugar/salt and being tired. The latter usually comes after extended exercise, so appears to be counterproductive for weight loss. Other benefits still apply though.
Just dropping added sugar/salt now that my child eats solid food helped a lot though. One benefit is a heightened (or actually: not dulled) sense of taste.
I'm currently on a "cheat week" and it's already getting annoying that food doesn't taste as good.
Dietitians say this again and again: even the best diet is no good if you can't keep to it.

If you're in shape and get enough sleep a moderate amount of exercise shouldn't make you tired. Being a parent might contribute more to the tiredness though
