    Egg white English muffin with Canadian bacon, spinach, and tomato.
    Or oatmeal with fruit and either a little brown sugar or agave nectar.

    Those are quick and easy for me.

    I like Carnation instant breakfast in the morning made with 2 cups of milk instead of just one. That way I get my chocolate fix, too! I also mix it up with protein shakes, ready-made weight loss shakes, and/or grits with a cheese wedge and turkey bacon bits just so I don't get bored.

    I wish I could eat eggs without everyone around me suffering for at least 24 hours.

    Seriously, it's intolerable.

    I eat eggs - the perfect protein.

    And when I'm tired of eggs, I have fried eggs.

    When i can't stand anymore eggs, I have someone else cook the eggs because they always taste a little different.

    My cholesterol is in the normal range and better than it's ever been. :)

    This, and "Bacon log cabin" are the two most beautiful things I've read this month. For the record? It turned out to NOT be a log cabin made of bacon, but instead a log cabin made by Mr. Bacon. I wanted to cry. So disappointing.

    Whenever I get tired of "eggs" I give them up and instead make "eggs with..." As in, "eggs with salsa" or "eggs with spinach" or "eggs with spinach salsa". Eventually my taste for "eggs" comes back, and my normal breakfast routine is restored.

    I am a breakfast fiend! If I don't get breakfast I get so cranky... Some of my favorite breakfasts:

    *Steel-cut oats with peanut butter mixed in (so yummy and I've eaten it for the past week, lol)
    *Scrambled eggs with spinach & turkey bacon
    *Coco-wheats (not the most nutritious but oh so filling - I can only eat half the gov't standard single serving and it's like 90 cals)
    *Greek yogurt with fruit & some granola
    *Pancakes with peanut butter and applesauce (l love Bob's Red Mill GF pancake mix)

    When I'm in a hurry (a.k.a. I woke up late, lol):

    *hard-boiled egg (I make them in batches so there's usually one or two in my fridge)
    *Clif bar or Larabar
    *Banana or apple

    Porridge!

    I'm rarely hungry when I wake up but I LOVE my morning porridge. I have 25g of Scots oats, made with water and then mix in some protein powder. I also have a cup of green tea :)

    I usually only drink a cup of organic coffee and nothing else. I KNOW this cannot be helping my weightless progress. I want to start eating breakfast!
    I would love some wholesome and tasty ideas(:

    It's not going to hurt your weight loss. If you're not hungry in the morning, save those calories for later.

    My best breakfast on a workday is about a 1/2 cup of oatmeal, one cut-up apple, a couple tablespoons of almond slices, and SOMETIMES a tablespoon of raisins/dried fruit. Yesterday I used fresh blueberries. Nom nom nom.

    When I'm not working and I have more time, I like to poach or fry up an egg, make a slice of toast, add a tablespoon of butter, really take my time and enjoy it. You don't have to eat much to be satisfied if you add an egg, because eggs have a really high satiety in my experience. One of my favorite day-off recipes is to cook up a Lender's onion bagel (my husband and I each eat half) and make an "open sandwich" with a slice of cheddar cheese, a poached egg, lettuce/spinach and tomato slices. Top with hot sauce. That keeps me going for hours.

    This morning I made pancakes with peaches in them because I had the extra time. It was really calorie dense, but I can basically promise you I won't feel hungry all day now because I use whole-wheat flour and put a couple dollops of fat free Greek Yogurt on top for an extra protein burst. Also used up the last of our fresh blueberries.

    For the work week I prep Sundays. Sunday evening I fix an egg cassarole that is easily divided into 4 pieces and is approximately 200-225 calories (depending on what meat I put in it) and it is very filling. It keeps me satisfied till 11 or 12.

    I've been making bagel, egg, and cheese sandwiches more recently.

    If you put egg whites (or plain old eggs if you prefer) into a microwavable mug (spray w/ cooking spray first), you just nuke it for 1 min, stir it up, then nuke for another 30 sec. and you'll have scrambled eggs.

    I put that on a Smart Bagel (100 calories) w/ a slice of low fat cheese and once in awhile, turkey sausage or bacon (microwavable as well).

    Takes me about 5 min. to make, is usually between 350-450 calories, and keeps me full until I have my morning snack.

    Simple fridge oats. No cooking. Toss in a small ball jar or lidded container the night before. Get out in the morning and grab a spoon.

    1/2 c. old fashioned rolled oats
    1/2 c. almond milk (or dairy, soy, water, whatever you prefer)
    additions of choice
    pinch or two of cinnamon and a small handful of raisins, or
    pinch or two of cocoa and half a ripe banana chopped up, or
    fresh raspberries or strawberries, or
    walnuts and maple syrup... whatever...

    Easy to add in crushed flax seed or chia seeds for omega3's without changing the taste.

    Kashi Berry Blossoms or Kashi Blackberry Hills or Life Cinnamon or Peanut Butter Toast Crunch or Malt0-O-Meal (rarely) with Almond Milk. I'm broke and stuck with 2% til friday, but that's my usual.

    I'm cutting the last two out and searching for comparable organics. I'm not letting Monsanto (who is now putting HUMAN DNA in rice In The Open Fields of Kentucky!!!) and their Frankenstein food into my system if i can help it.

    My new "usual" (for about a month now) is Greek yogurt, granola, and fruit, plus OJ and/or milk. Not every day though; I switch it up with other types of cereal, a Toaster Streudel, or fruit smoothie. But I have the yogurt/granola/fruit about 4 times a week. I love it!

    Chobani pomegrante 0% fat greek yogurt with 1/8 cup Kashi Go Lean and coffee. The protein in the greek yogurt keeps me full for hours.

    Most mornings I have a shake with Vega French Vanilla Nutritional shake mix (1 scoop), 1 cup of frozen fruit (usually wild bluberries because I LOVE them), and 1 cup of unsweetened almond or coconut milk. I usually take this with me in the car on my way to work, which is around 7am or so. Once I'm at work, I normally start feeling hungry again at around 10:30 or 11 so I'll have an apple with a tablespoon of peanut butter, and then lunch at around 1:30. I find the combination of a smoothie and fruit/protein really works well for me - the smoothie gets me going and makes me feel energized, however it's not super filling - that's where the apple & peanut butter comes into play.

    I am following a low carb regime so:

    During the work week Atkins Breakfast Bars (2)
    Weekends - Two to Three Eggs, with Ham or Sausage, sometime with pepper strips, sometimes in low carb wraps.
    Or Bobs Red Mill High Fiber Cereal, and/or Oatmeal, with added Flax or Chia seeds.

    Seems to work well for me. :happy:

    Why would eating more help your weight loss? Are you currently eating too little? Do you tend to pig out at lunch because you skip breakfast?

    The possibilities for a tasty nutritious breakfast are endless - toast w/ peanut butter, veggie omelette, any high fiber low sugar cereal, leftovers from your healthy dinner, oats, barley or other porridge, whole grain pancakes or waffles w/ fruit and/or peanut butter and/or a little maple syrup, breakfast burrito, ...
