Have carbs that are a bit more simple/have less fiber -- like bread, pasta, cereal. They are better for leptin because they raise insulin more -- they will also not keep you full as long.

The exception would be your last meal, where you want a steady stream of glucose as long as possible, so you would want some fiber.
