What's For Breakfast, Everyone?

clafairy1984

You can still eat your cooked breakfast, as long as you grill everything and demonstrate portion control. I treat myself to a cooked breakfast on Sundays.

2 grilled bacon
2 scrambled eggs
100g mushrooms
1 slice wholegrain toast
tomatoes or spinach to get at least 1 of 5 a day in there.

Works out at about 450 calories. So there's no reason not to have what you like to eat.

a glass of milk and 2 bananas, today

Homemade banana oaties. You only need bananas and oats to make them - very simple! I got the recipe from Hungry Healthy Happy so can't pretend it's my own. I make a batch once a week and even if I'm having breakfast on the go, I've got a healthy choice. I often take two and put a small amount of peanut butter and honey between them. You can eat them at your desk (which often happens to me) without making a huge mess.

personally I like your first breakfast idea - although I'd swap the bread for mushrooms. what do you mean by 'breakfast meat'? many meats commonly eaten for breakfast tend to be on the heavily processed side which aren't great for your long-term health (basically the ONLY meats that have been shown to be bad for your health).

I tend to avoid commercially prepared cereals which can be high in sugar. I delay my breakfast until morning tea break. I find I can last that long, but if I eat first thing I'm STILL hungry at tea break, so it saves me a few hundred calories.

My breakfast, in eight minutes time, will be:

homemade muesli (I buy rolled oats, porridge oats, barley flakes, rye flakes, dried fruit and add sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
greek yoghurt.

if I had cooking facilities at work I would be having 'dinner' type foods.

Take a healthy diet during your breakfast. As, it is your first meal of the day so take it properly because it gives you energy throughout your day. Don;t eat too much oily food have juice fruits. etc.

Weekdays it's a fruit/protein smoothie (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, bananas, 200-250ml unsweetened almond milk, half a scoop whey protein isolate. If I have extra fruit laying around I'll add it. I might be putting in some kiwi and persimmon's soon, I have too many on my counter to eat before they go bad) with a boiled egg. Lately I've added a yogurt with 10g of sliced almonds and .5 tsp of bee pollen. It's about 512 calories which is way better than what I used to eat (I used to have about 1000-1200 calories for breakfast, eggs, bacon, hasbrowns, toast adds up fast)

On weekends it's a little unhealthier since I tend to makes scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. I do like adding extra egg whites and I'll sometimes put mushrooms, spinach, cheese on the eggs. Sometimes I'll simply poach my eggs in spinach and add a ton of garlic. I also limit myself to 1 cup of hashbrowns (I used to have 3-4 cups). These breakfasts range from 600-800 calories but I don't tend to snack as much on weekends since I eat later so it balances out. I figure as long as I stay within my daily calorie goal I'm good.

I have a protein bar for breakfast ever day. Today it was a crunchy chocolate Pure Protein bar. Yummy. I like a larger dinner, so I go really light in the morning.

I also like larger dinners too (and apparently larger breakfasts and lunches, which is what got me into this situation in the first place.). There is something psychologically satisfying (for me at least) about having a large dinner after a long day of work.

But if dietary willpower is all in the mind, then I may have to work on changing my mindset.

You feel satisfied with that one protein bar? How long between your breakfast and your next meal / snack?

Long Answer:
My breakfast used to consist of a 3 Little Debbie snack cakes and a pint of milk that I bought at a convenience store, then I'd get to work and crack open a 20 oz Pepsi. Clerks and customers often commented that I was buying the "breakfast of champions". Once I made the decision to get healthy, I switched to granola bar(s) and still bought that milk at the same convenience store. Then I discovered Pure Protein bars. I was surprised that I could eat only one and feel satisfied, but that is exactly how it works out. Soon after making that switch, I was even able to dump the milk. I still have a soda after arriving at work at 7am, but now it's a Coke Zero which is zero calories. I sort of nurse that little 12oz drink until lunch time at 11am.

Short answer:
Yes, it does satisfy me, and the supplemental morning Coke Zero completes the picture.
Breakfast at around 6:30am and Lunch at 11:00am

I am having two scrambled eggs with 1/3 cup of shredded Colby jack cheese in it and 3 slices of Virginia ham. I am also having a cup of grapes.

I wake up at 4:55 every morning, gulp a big cup of black coffee, then have the following:

1/2 cup natural oatmeal
1.5 scoop whey protein powder
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 small banana

Hit the gym at 6 AM, have a solid workout with weights (usually 8-10 exercises, 3-4 sets per exercise, all written down)

7 AM get home, have another black coffee and either:

2 eggs
1/2 an avocado
2 ryvita crisps

or:

shake with:
1 scoop whey protein
1/2 an avocado
small banana
water
ice cubes

that sets me up great for the morning, I'll either have a very small mid-morning snack or none at all until lunch.

Feeling great. Been doing this for 2.5 weeks and even though last weekend had 2 parties where I binged a bit I'm down 7 lbs, my muscles are stronger (the benefit of logging, you can tell what's going on) and my waist is shrinking.

I like to have a peanut butter & banana smootie with yogurt & almond milk. It's very filling, and I can make five on Sunday to get me through the week!

I like this!
What kind of yogurt do you use?

frksfrau

I have several different breakfasts I rotate throughout the week so I am not bored.

Breakfast 1:
40g Steel Cut Oatmeal
10 g craisins
Coffee with ff half & half
approx 200 cal

Breakfast 2:
4 egg whites
1 slice cheese
bagel thin
Coffee w/ ff half & half
approx 250 cal

I especially like my breakfast 2 egg sandwich. Much tastier, healthier, and cheaper than anything I would get in a drive thru.

my 500 calories out of 2000...I am not on diet, only maintaining

zeal26

I'm a creature of habit. I need the same breakfast every day or I just feel off. I have oatmeal made with 40g of oats and 270ml of 1.2% milk. Then I stir in 2 tsp of strawberry jam and sometimes 1/4 teaspoon of peanut butter.

Plus a mug of coffee with milk and sugar.

LBoggie77

Half a cup of brown rice, 1 poached egg, sauteed with 2 fresh mushrooms and 2 teaspoons of homemade salsa. Keeps me full until snack time

NARudy

This is simple and easy and healthy.

1 Fiber 1 English Muffin -- 100 calories
1 Fried egg (break the yolk) -- 100 calories
1 ounce Turkey Ham -- 50 calories
1 slice Provolone -- 50 calories

The ham and the egg are actually lower, but I rounded up. This is 300 calories. You can also easily leave out the Turkey ham to keep it lower, or use low-fat cheese but it doesn't melt right.

Add in a banana and some black coffee (buy good grounds, not supermarket cans), and you're at less than 400 for a delicious, yummy breakfast that feels decadent but is not.
