I am stuck in a rut when it comes to breakfast. What's you favorite morning meal? Your easy go to meal? Your special weekend treat?

Breakfast has always been harder for me while counting calories because try as I might I can not cook egg whites lol. Most morings I have sautéed veggies, featuring mostly green, with an over easy egg on top. To help offset the egg yolk I don't add any cheese and i sautéed it all with just a little water. It's never been more then 150 calories. Another one I will eat is french toast. I used egg white, just a splash of milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon for the wash occasionally I will add mashed up banana or Applesauce to the wash for a sweeter flavor, I use 1 slice of homemade wheat bread and instead of syrup and butter I add fresh fruit on top.
Neither of these take me longer then 10 minutes to make and it's even faster if you cut and measure your fruit and veggies ahead of time. I don't know if you have children but the French toast is a huge hit with my 3 year old, it's one of the few breakfasts I can get him to eat the whole thing.

With the French toast, I'll use Sara Lee 45 cal wheat bread. Then I can have 2 pieces. I saute some apples with a bit of syrup and cinnamon to top it and it's delicious. I also will scramble eggs with veggies. One of the ways I've found to save time is to buy a frozen stir fry mix. Then I get variety of veggies but I save time on cutting and portioning. I'll have that with some fruit. I also like to cook ground flax like oatmeal. I add half a cup of pumpkin to it also. Sometimes banana. So yummy.

3 options here depending on the day -

1) ham and cheese omelette from a local diner, bacon, home fries, toast, milk and OJ. Occasionally I'll do steak and eggs, but a diner omelette is my go-to breakfast.

2) breakfast shake - vanilla ice cream, vanilla protein powder, OJ

3) 5hr energy

I like to mash 1/2 avocado and put that on lightly toasted bread, then top with a couple of fried eggs. I really like a small amount of hot sauce on it too. Presto! Delicious and speedy breakfast. On the weekend I like pancakes and bacon.

Steak when I can afford it.

I rarely eat breakfast, but on the occasions that I do it's either buckwheat pancakes with pb and maple syrup (not the fake stuff) or french toast with maples syrup. My french toast is very eggy - I use thin cut wholemeal bread with 1 egg per slice. I like to taste the egg.

Typical breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs + greek yogurt/cottage cheese/kale and beans (one of those, not all three!)
Weekend breakfast: 2 eggs overeasy over stir fried veggies (kale or broccoli)
Treat breakfast: 2 eggs, hash browns, sausage.

Can you tell I would pretty much eat eggs at every meal if I could?

hello! At breakfast smoothie drink with sesame seeds.

Some days, I don't eat breakfast at all, but I must have my three HUGE cups of strong tea with low-fat half and half and Splenda. They can be really filling. Sometimes I have a protein bar.

I tend to eat breakfast food for lunch, though. My favorites are cottage cheese either with finely chopped veggies or almonds and cinnamon on top or pumpkin stirred in; scrambled eggs with spinach; or Greek yogurt and strawberries. I really only like the last one when berries are in season and at their best.

Coffee coffee coffee! And, sometimes oatmeal or a protein shake. But usually just coffee!

Porridge.

I mix jumbo oats, rye flakes and chia seeds. Soaked in milk overnight. Cooked on the hob.

Then depending on the macro plan for the day either add a chopped up milky way, curly wurly, Cadbury's fudge bar, banana, protein powder (millionaires shortbread or chocolate peanut cookie), peanut butter or a portion of flavoured drinking chocolate.

I've gotten pretty good at making a microwave frittata in a bowl. I never thought I'd use a microwave to cook. I do a couple whole eggs, a couple egg whites, usually some kind of fresh chopped mushroom, sometimes a leafy green, sometimes bell peppers, this morning was some shredded zucchini I had leftover, a hot pepper or cayenne and some kind of cheese to top it. Sometimes I add some meat and that could be anything that sounds good. I eat a variation of this almost every day and it's delicious and is a good kick of protein and fat.

I vary my morning carb...sometimes cereal, sometimes toast, sometimes I throw the frittata into a tortilla with some plain yogurt and hot sauce.

It is usually 500 to 700 calories for all of it, but I'm full for hours and I do better the rest of the day only needing smaller meals. This morning my breakfast was 39g protein.

I LOVE breakfast food. I could probably eat it for every meal if my calories allowed it.
I tend to go a little sweeter for breakfast most days.. naturally of course! Here's a list of my favs in no particular order
(except the first one )
1. Oats, Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey (so much yum)
2. Greek yogurt, granola, & fruit
3. Banana split (this includes banana, yogurt, blueberries, almonds, and oj. no icecream!)
4. Overnight Oats (see pintrest)
5. Chia Seed Pudding
or my fail safe,
6. Smoothies

Weekdays- Baked Oatmeal! (I sneak in 2 scoops protein vanilla powder for a 6 serving dish)
Weekends- Poached egg + whites + avocado + salsa + black bean 4" tacos (2), and 1 Trader Joe's chicken sausage (currently digging the Sweet Apple flavor)

I try to maximize protein and keep calories between 350-400 at breakfast, because lunch is always my biggest meal of the day. Both of these options keep me full from 6AM - 12:30-1:00 PM.

Favorite breakfast is eggs, bacon, toast and black coffee. I don't always have the bacon, but the rest is a regular brekkie for me about 4 days a week.

My other go-to is oatmeal with greek yogurt, blueberries, walnuts, honey and cinnamon (and unflavored protein powder if I have it), and of course, black coffee.

Weekend or special breakfasts we go out and I usually go for the bacon/eggs/toast, but add potatoes as well. Or eggs Benedict is another fave. Weekends at home I like to make abelskiver or pancakes from scratch...and bacon and eggs again.

I like Pure Protien bars for breakfast because its fast and easy.
My lunch sounds like a breakfast and that's a hard boiled egg and 2/3 - 1 oz of hard cheese. Sounds like the breakfast of a fantasy novel to me!

Lately, 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, and a pancake. All with one pan. Fry bacon first, eggs fried in the bacon fat, pancake is next. All takes less than 10 mins to make.
