I'm a fan of sweet over savory breakfasts... LOVE my oatmeal and smoothies, but am also a fan of an egg white scramble or sandwich from time to time. What are YOUR favorites?

Usually 2 whole eggs and 5 egg whites (from a carton) scrambled and a 1/3 cup (dry) serving of Coach's Oats with around 50 grams of mixed berries and 1 ounce of chopped up almonds. I usually wash that down with a low sodium V8 and some coffee.0

Coffee.0

Bacon and eggs and a nice, tart apple. I worry about calories rather than much about macro settings, and it's a breakfast that keeps me going well until lunch for about 350 calories.0

2-3 whole eggs and Quaker Oatmeal High Fiber.0

Can't beat peanut butter and sliced banana on a piece of whole wheat toast. Yum!0

I eat a pre-workout Quest bar and a post-workout protein shake before I even get to "breakfast," so breakfast tends to be lower in protein and higher in carbs. Today I had a plain bagel thin with a service of blueberry cream cheese. It fits nicely into my macros.
If you're looking for "healthier" options, I like overnight protein oatmeal or hot protein oatmeal, homemade McDonald's-style egg white delight (english muffin, canadian bacon, egg whites, white cheddar cheese), Greek yogurt with granola and/or fruit, peanut butter on toast, ore cottage cheese mixed with applesauce, raisins, and cinnamon.0 -
All-bran and toast.0

During the week-- overnight oats with peanut butter, dried cranberries, and stevia.
Super quick-- slim fast with half a protein bar
Weekend-- three eggs, two pieces of toast, spinach, and laughing cow swiss cheese. mmmmmmm

I have to have something I can just grab and eat. I usually make up a batch of like a breakfast quiche, cut into squares and grab and eat all week. Or set my smoothie up the night before and put in fridge, then just grab and throw on the ninja. It has to be quick because my time is limited and schedule tight. More time last couple days since I hurt my knee0

Usually just 2 eggs over medium, 2 strips of bacon (real, not turkey) or sausage, and some sort of fruit.
On the weekends I may shake it up a bit and have a 3 egg omelet with spinach, red onion, ham, and fresh grated monterey jack cheese.0 -
These are my regulars for weekday mornings:
2 eggs with 2oz ham and 1 slice of cheese
1/2 serving of vanilla greek yogurt mixed with strawberry preserves + slice of whole wheat toast and peanut butter
almond milk + chocolate protein powder, with peanut butter toast
On the weekends I'll make pancakes or waffles for the kids and usually have one or two with a slice of bacon. Or I'll make a yogurt parfait as above but add almonds, banana slices, and granola. I can eat a heavier breakfast on weekends because I don't snack as much as I do when I'm sitting at my boring job during the week, lol.0 -
low fat yogurt! With Flax Seeds mixed in, ground up flax seeds0

Protein shake - vanilla protein, 1 c spinach, 1 c kale, 1 c frozen fruit, 1/2 c plain greek yogurt and a crystal light packet for flavor (mixed in my vitamix) - This gets me about 45g protein and 55 carbs, 2 servings veggies and 1 serving fruit.
I also like to have a basic protein shake with 2 Kodiak protein pancakes. 40g protein and 30g carbs0 -
I am a breakfast diva.
This is savory. A single serving frittata pocketed with carrot and onion, a little hot sauce, and a couple walnuts.
This morning I had my new fave, Red River cereal enriched with powdered milk, raisins, and a dollop of greek yogurt.0 -
Scrambled eggs with cheese, and avocado, purple onion and tomato on top, with a slice of toast and a hot drink!0
-
I like toasted whole grain English Muffins with cheese, potato, egg and cheese tacos, oatmeal, scrambled eggs with toast. Sometimes I grab a protein bar, or make a chocolate coffee and greens protein shake.0
-
Usually eggs, or yogurt and fruit0

Egg white scramble (4-6 egg whites, broccoli, spinach, roasted red peppers, artichokes, feta cheese)
Hot cereal (many kinds, all unsweetened, mostly Bob's Red Mill varieties) with almond milk and fruit, egg whites on the side
Waffle sandwich (2 ancient grain gluten-free waffles w/ 4 egg whites) and an apple
Veggie omelet w/ turkey bacon and avocado
English muffin sandwich (gluten-free english muffin, egg whites, slice of cheese, turkey bacon)
Pancakes or waffles w/ nuts and fruit and a side of egg whites
Muffins w/ egg whites and turkey bacon and fruit on the side0 -
If it's an early morning workout, two hardboiled eggs pre-workout, banana, spinach and peanut butter smoothie post-workout. Eggs, toast and fruit on weekends!0
-
During the work week a cup of Dannon Light, 2X the Protein Vanilla yogurt. Weekends I most likely don't eat until close to lunch time, but if I do it's an omlette with meat and cheese of some kind or maybe a scramble with eggs, meat, cheese, onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. And of course I'm addicted to coffee, so my first cup of the day includes a 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder, so even if I don't eat right away, I'm getting some nutrition.0

Protein bar and string cheese.0

My standard is 2 whole egg omelet with whatever veggies are convenient, plus a little feta. Since I like more protein and larger breakfasts (400+ calories), I typically also have some fruit, and some dairy (or leftover meat from dinner or sometimes smoked salmon).
I'm out of eggs at the moment, so have just been having leftover dinner protein, sometimes with some fresh veggies whipped up, sometimes with leftover veggies too, or maybe a salad, plus fruit. As may be obvious, I'm more of a savory breakfast person, but on occasion I like oatmeal, and usually add protein powder to it, plus veggies on the side and some nuts. (My latest discovery has been that adding the protein powder and the nuts makes this meal much more filling for me than the fruit I used to include instead.)0 -
My usual breakfast is 32g of FiberOne cereal (I portion it out into snack size bags when I buy the box - so it's just grab and go), a stone fruit (usually plum), and string cheese. If I have them on hand, I'll toss in a hard-cooked egg as well.
On days when I'm not in a rush, and feel like it, I'll cook up a couple eggs (over easy, or an omelet) with cheese in addition to the plum and cereal. (The cereal is a gotta have - I do horribly on fiber without it.) Sometimes at work, I'll grab a 90cal packet of Jack Links Teriyaki bites from the snack bin to up the protein as well.0 -
Slice of vegetable frittata with glass of skim milk or
cup of flavored greek yogurt with 1/8 cup of granola mixed in and milk0 -
Half an avocado, 10 grams walnuts and one oz cream cheese. Coffee with HWC.0
-
6 scrambled egg whites, 100 g of blueberries, coffee, and water.0

Sunday nights, I cook up a large carton of egg whites & a batch of steel cut oats. Divide the egg whites (about 5oz) into 5 containers, 1/2 cup of oats (freeze any extra). Add cinamon.
Breakfast is done for 5 days with a minute in the microwave.0 -
Frosted Mini Wheats with grapes or a banana and two cups of English Breakfast Tea is my usual workday staple. On the weekends I make eggs and sometimes I make a chocolate banana protien smoothie if I'm working out.0

Weekend-- three eggs, two pieces of toast, spinach, and laughing cow swiss cheese. mmmmmmm
I had to google overnight oats, hadn't heard of that before. Looks interesting though. Will have to try.0
