Rose and hibiscus green tea = 0 calories
2 slices wheat toast with 2 tbsp Nutella = 339
2 Eggs = 203
Total = 542
But it is healthy!0 -
Mmm, LBoggie77's breakfast sounds yummy.
I'm also a creature of habit. I have a lighter breakfast because I like to save my calories for lunch and even more so for dinner. I'll usually have a cup of cereal without milk as I'm snacking on it starting from 8a to my lunch which is about 1p. Not the healthiest, but I also enjoy my sleep in the morning.

Sometimes I make a green smoothie and other times I have a bowl of bran flakes with almond milk. I try to save my calories for later in the day.0

I've been obsessed with waffles lately so I've been making 1 frozen belgian waffle with either peanut butter or grits to go over top. if not that then I'll have cereal with almond milk.0

Coffee and a banana with peanut butter0

I spread my breakfast out over several hours. My mornings are busy so it just sort of happens that way.
It varies, but today I've had:
6:30am: black coffee (after workout & shower)
7am: fat free Greek yogurt w/blueberries (while feeding kids, making lunches)
8am: black coffee (in car going to work)
8:30am: Balance protein bar (in office)
9:30am: banana (in office)

Usually, I have
1 slice of whole wheat toast with 15g of peanut butter, or
whole wheat waffle with 15g of cream cheese/pb/nutella, or
protein shake, or
1 egg, 1 slice of whole wheat toast with butter (measured but I forgot how much haha), or
a slice of french toast with a tbsp of syrup., or
yaknow .. bacon and stuff0 -
Today was a banana and a Zone Perfect bar, as I had to be at work majorly early and wasn't getting a lunch break. But that means a turkey sausage/egg burrito for lunch now that I'm home!
Since I posted this yesterday, my breakfast today is more indicative of what I eat. Today is Honey Nut Cheerios, a banana, and Greek yogurt. About the only thing constant in my mornings is the yogurt. Some days I'll have eggs, some days a sandwich. One day a week I'll mix plain yogurt with some protein granola and whatever fruit I have available (right now frozen peaches), and on the weekends while I'm at work I have a Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast bowl, with either the banana or protein bar on my drive in.0 -
Coffee with a splash of CoffeeMate but no sugar.
A cut up pear with 1/2 cup cottage cheese, sprinkled with flax and some cinnamon.0 -

Yum.... I think I will try that one of these days.0 -
My favorite breakfast is a green smoothie
1oz avocado
.5oz cream cheese
1/2 scoop unflavored protein powder
1 pastured egg
frozen strawberries 3.0 ounces
1 stevia packet
That's around 300 calories or so when I add in the coffee and 1/2 and 1/2.
Today I had 1.5oz roasted butternut squash pureed, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 5oz unsweetened almond milk. Heated to make it a porridge and topped it with a tablespoon of granola.
Hmm! It never occurred to me that you could add an avocado to a smoothie... Interesting combination. I'll try it some time.0 -
I have it logged as lunch, but I ate my ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast.
Arnold everything sandwich thin, brown mustard&light mayo, Kraft deli deluxe 2%, 1.5 oz ham0 -
2 egg omelet with feta, leeks, asparagus, and kale (I have tons of leeks at the moment, so will be eating them in everything). Also a little bit of lamb left over from dinner. About 340 calories and 29 grams of protein (low on both compared to my usual, but not by much).0

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.
That is very true. There's no reason you can't have what you like to eat, as long as you manage the portion sizes....
... and if we tweak our favorite meals a bit by swapping out some portion of it for a more satisfying and / or more healthy alternative.0 -
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.
I'm the same way. By force of habit, I have to eat the same breakfast every morning and it has to consist of 2 eggs and 2 slices of bread. While it is satisfying, I am looking to come up with a healthier yet satisfying alternative.0 -
I usually have 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and an english muffin. But I think having eggs every day is screwing up my stomach so today I had oatmeal with flaxseed and 3 slices of bacon to add more protein/fat.0

Interesting approach. I kind of did that yesterday and today too. I had an apple while getting the kids ready for school. And then I made a bowl of 4oz of strawberries & 4oz of blueberries which I am having now.... just one hour later. (They do say that you should have several smaller meals per day... Might be worth experimenting with that.)

Half a cup of rolled oats with raisins, cinnamon, and sugar, and cinnamon-orange-spice tea with milk and sugar. On weekends I often have an egg or two as well.0

This morning I had:
1 cup leftover broccoli from last night, with 2 egg whites scrambled in it
4 slices turkey bacon
1 apple0 -
7:50am: 2 pieces of 45 calorie wheat bread with cinnamon and sugar
9am: Black coffee
10am: 1/2 cup of plain oatmeal.
I split my breakfast up so that way I don't become starving before lunch time and don't overeat all day.0 -
Here are a few things I enjoy:
- French toast, (1 egg, splenda, cinnamon, 2 slices wholemeal bread)
- Porridge (35 g oats, about 150 ml milk, plus water, splenda, and maybe some peanut butter, dried apricots, or protein powder.)
- Scrambled eggs
- All bran cake - usually chocolate or carrot cake (love this - google scan bran cake recipes and substitute the scan bran with All Bran or similar), with greek yoghurt
- Protein shake, sometimes with frozen berries.
- Protein bar and some fruit
- English breakfast (If you have time to make it, you can fit this into your macros by having a lower calorie lunch, using low-fat or meat free sausages, lean bacon, lots of mushrooms and tomatoes, and cooking in Frylight instead of oil.)
- Laughing Cow light on two slices of wholemeal bread
- Oaty yoghurt pancakes (about 40g oats, 165 ml flavoured yoghurt, 2 eggs, splenda. Mix, leave in fridge overnight, fry into little pancakes in the morning.)

Breakfast Pita Pizza. It's a recipe that I took off of eat this much.

Oatmeal and coffee. I usually can't stand oatmeal so I tried to mix up the recipe.
1/2 C Oats
1 C Vanilla Soy Milk (Lite)
Dash vanilla extract
Dash cinnamon
Dash nutmeg
Dash salt
1 Tbsp peanut butter
Taste is fine, but the texture is what gets me about oatmeal. Maybe I'll add some dried fruit next time.
Old fashioned oat meal cooked very slowly in water has a more whole grain texture. The instant or quick cooking oats tend to have that generic slime texture. I like cinnamon and honey in my oats. I've even cooked dried cranberries in it and it was great. Another favorite to add after cooking is diced banana. Oats keep me feeling full most of the morning.0 -
The last two days, I've been experimenting with "splitting" my breakfast up into "segments". And it seems to be working well for me. I'll try it again today, which is my Day #3.
While getting the kids ready for school, I ate an apple.
I will then have strawberries / blueberries / banana after I drop them off.
So effectively, I'll be eating a little bit gradually all morning long. This will keep me satisfied, while staving off any cravings, hunger pangs, or emotional triggers for wanting to eat bad-carb foods.
(I guess this is somewhat akin to eating "several small meals" per day as opposed to only a few large meals.
But this journey is a process that constantly requires tweaking and modifying along the way.
How is everyone else's day going?0 -
I don't work and so don't have a set schedule (or sleep schedule) and the only reason I get breakfast in most days is because I take morning meds and they require food. I currently have several breakfasts on rotate:
- Bran flakes, skimmed milk, raisins and a banana
- Flavoured porridge, made with water
- Turkey bacon with an egg and brown bread
This week I've been having a rare treat of a crumpet with jam and boy do I feel the sugar come down from it, not filling at all!0 -
Most mornings I just drink coffee and don't eat until noon. I'm just not typically hungry in the morning. But! This was my breakfast this morning

Those of us who skip breakfast.... Don't they say that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"? Supposedly, from what I've read, eating breakfast helps to kick start your metabolism for that day. How do we reconcile that? Or is that just a myth?
Can anyone here attest to whether or not eating or not eating breakfast makes a difference to your ability to shed those unwanted pounds?0 -

Meal timing makes no difference. If you're hungry, eat, if you're not, don't. Just meet your calorie goals.
