Ok I am going to point out the obvious here:

Dude, look at your breakfast! There is absolutely no protein! Just a bunch of fast burning carbs! If I ate that I would be hungry again in an hour. And I'm 5'6'' girl.

The first hint of protein you get is the chicken sandwich after your workout. I'm not sure what all is on that sandwich but I'm just going to assume whole wheat or sprouted bread, lettuce and chicken breast (no sauces). Sounds like a good after workout meal. But you have no protein before that. Add some egg whites to your breakfast (I eat like 4 egg whites), and maybe have some lean meat sometime before your workout. Cooked in olive oil for some good fats. Eat some almonds or something for good fat too. You are totally lacking in good fats, fiber and protein until late in the day. Which may explain why you gorge later on, cause all your fuel has burned up and you're starving! So for breakfast try something like this:

Egg Whites (However many you want!)
Oatmeal or Bran muffin or High Fiber Cereal (I would get something better than cheerios, just my opinion though)
Milk (if you have cereal)
I think your banana would work well here too

Maybe have some nuts on you to munch on in a couple hours. Lately I've tried to not eat fats like nuts with carbs. But that's just my own personal thing. I'm not a qualified nutritionalist but I think it's better to eat fats by themselves.
