What did you have for breakfast?

J0gettingfit

I find breakfast is the hardest meal for me to get inspired to eat. But I want to stop skipping it, so hoping you can give me some ideas for yummy breakfasts, what did you have?

1. Plain steel cut oatmeal with fresh blueberries, sometimes strawberries and walnuts.
2. 3 Eggwhite Omlette with steamed spinach and slice of low fat Finlandia Swiss. Swap spinach for peppers and onions sometimes.
3. Non fat Greek yogurt smoothie with frozen or fresh fruit (mango and black cherry is my favorite right now). I use a little ice and 1/4 cup low fat milk.

All pack some good protein and keep me full until lunch, with a coffee in between (black no sugar). Typically doing this has me at under 200 calories by lunch.

By the way, that is 3 different breakfasts...not what I eat for one!!

OooooOOOooo I love me some breakfast.

I usually start my day off with eggs because I feel better for the rest of the day, and I'm able to stick to my calorie goal without feeling like I'm starving or craving. Even other proteins don't seem to give me the same feeling, and I usually end up craving sweets and junk throughout the day.

My go-to breakfast is:

2 over-easy eggs on toast with some E.D. Smith jelly. (usually 1/4 tsp or less of oil to stop the eggs from sticking).

I love breakfast. My problem is not letting breakfast blow my calorie goal for the day. Right now, I've been eating muffins and baked oatmeal. Here are my two favorites:

I also like overnight oats.

Ooooo they all sound good!! Thank you for the ideas! I really like the sound of the muffins and oatmeal with berries. I went with eggs this morning. Shopping day tomorrow so loving getting all these ideas!

I am also not a breakfast person.... but if I don't eat I turn into a hangry lady. I seem to go from not hungry to hunger pains in 5 mins which used to lead to lunch time bingeing that lasted all day.

I have found a "odd combo " for me. It keeps me happy for a good 4 hours.

Smallish/ medium banana, 1 hard boiled egg and a couple dried figs. This is also super portable..... but probably not for everyone hahaha.

I also think breakfast does not have to be "breakfast food" but I'd definitely try to get some fiber and protein involved.

I like breakfast as well. If I'm at work I usually have oatmeal with dried cranberries and walnuts. When I'm getting off work and about to go run or hit the gym I usually have a banana and a granola bar. If I'm at home, I normally eat cereal.

On rest days, I would eat 2 eggs scrambled with 2 whole wheat eggo waffles with 1 tablespoon PB and 2 tablespoons syrup

All of those are under 500 cals

My breakfast was 4 oz 2% milk with 4 oz water mixed with a scoop of chocolate flavored whey powder, followed by 2 sausages and a fried egg. The egg was fried in the scant drippings from the Johnsonville Breakfast Sausages.

I also have oatmeal 1/2 cup before cooking, with 1 tsp of fruit spread, walnuts, and dried fruit (raisins or cranberries).
Or eggs (omlette, scrambled, or hard boiled) with English muffin and 1 tsp of butter
Or occasionally cold cereal with milk and fruit, (when I am in a hurry).
No matter what I eat, I always have coffee. 1 cup for breakfast and water the rest of the day

today was one egg over easy with a slice of dave's killer bread toasted. I rubbed a garlic clove on the toast then smashed a quarter avocado on top. While the egg was cooking I tossed 3 oz of grape tomatoes into the pan. Ate the egg on top of the avocado toast with the tomatoes on the side and a cup of coffee with a squeeze of lemon.

Sometimes I eat cottage cheese with berries and cinnamon or veggies and salt and pepper.

Sometimes I eat oats with chia and berries and nut butter.

Sometimes I eat hard boiled eggs with fruit or veggies.

Sometimes a smoothie.

Sometimes leftover dinner.

A single slice of multigrain toast with sprinkled grapeseed oil instead of butter. Some chopped up strawberries with a sliced half of banana. Coffee with milk and sugar.

Other favorites are smashed avocado on multigrain toast with salt, cayenne, and lime. Quick steel cut oatmeal with flax seed meal mixed in, and plain yogurt on top. Two egg omelettes the way Julia Child makes them.

MissJeweloftheForest

I have an 8 oz smoothie for breakfast that has 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1 non fat Greek plain yogurt, and 1/3 cup pineapple juice.

Oh yum! You all are making me hungry! Those are some fantastic ideas! Thank you

I made a big Belgian protein waffle using the Kodiak Power Cakes pancake mix, pumpkin puree, an egg, protein powder, cinnamon, stevia, and raspberries. I topped it with spray butter, more cinnamon, some vanilla powdered peanut butter, and syrup. I work out in the morning, so this was my post-workout meal. Just under 400 calories [43c/8f/36p].

I skip breakfast. It is easier for me. I don't feel hungry til lunch. (And I would feel hungry if I ate only a small breakfast). This way I can have a bigger lunch and/or bigger dinner which in turn leaves me more satisfied. Intermitent fasting.

If I want to have a nice breakfast I "save" some calories during the week and have eggs, bacon and chili baked beans

I had a cup of frosted flakes with 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk with coffee of course. It comes to 164 calories, 1 gram of fat. the only thing really high is the sugar at 15, and the carbs which is 36. I try to stay under 200 calories for breakfast lunch and snack. leaving most of the calories for dinner.

175 grams of banana greek yogourt + 25 grams of Kashi Go Lean cereal + 1 xl hard boiled egg.

I sauteed chopped onions, chopped red pepper, 2 chopped Asparagus Spears, and a teaspoon of minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter. I scramble an egg in a bowl with a little skim milk. When the veggies are done I pour the egg on top. When it's almost done I top it with 1 slice of low sodium American cheese and melt that. I have it with a side of mixed fresh berries. That gets me through the morning. I'm on a kidney diet and this fills the bill for that.

I always have a roasted vegetable egg casserole topped with some kind of chicken (this week it's chicken verde) and fresh salsa.

I lifted this morning, so it was a high protein breakfast:

Overnight Oats:
-Mp Combat Powder - Protein Powder- Cookies N Cream, 0.51 scoop
-Quaker Oats - Old Fashioned 100% Natural Whole Grain, 0.1875 cup dry
-Kirkland Signature - Greek Yogurt- Strawberry, 3 oz
-Kirkland Signature - Greek Yogurt Blueberry, 3 oz

Dr. Mcdougall's - Organic Instant Oatmeal Light Maple Brown Sugar, 1 packet
San Francisco Bay Rainforest Blend - K Cup, 2 cup
Quest Bar - Double Chocolate Chunk Bar, 1 bar (60g)
Premiere Nutrition - High Protein Vanilla Shake, 11 fl. oz.

753 calories, 89gs carbs, 15gs fat, 84 gs protein

SusanConway333

That sounds good but I would need to modify it just a little. Salsa is to high in sodium and potassium si I would have to eliminate that. I could maybe use just a tiny bit of chicken because there is protein in the egg and I need to limit protein but it sounds workable! Anyway you can post that casserole recipe?

lkokot

Oatmeal with some cinnamon; bit boring, but it does the job.

janejellyroll

I had a salad with arugula, butter lettuce, avocado, kalamata olives, seared hearts of palm, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

It was leftovers from dinner last night. The combination of the giant bowl of greens and the fat from the avocado, olives, and olive oil always fills me up.

This morning I had 1/2 P28 High Protein Bagel w/ 1Tbsp P28 Banana Raisin Peanut Butter, a baby banana, 1 small mandarin orange, 2 hard boiled eggs, and 2.5oz grilled chicken. While at work it holds me until late morning snack of either a Quest Protein Bar, a greek yogurt, or a low fat chocolate Muscle Protein Shake with a cheese stick.

For weekend breakfasts, I opt for protein pancakes (I use P28 white chocolate protein powder, dark chocolate chips, small banana, vanilla extract, and lite coconut milk and top it with Walden Farms pancake syrup and 1Tbsp of coconut milk whipped cream...mmm)....love weekend breakfasts after a great workout. Sometimes I might do scrambled egg white omelete with grilled chicken and a protein smoothie.

I try to do high protein and healthy food swaps for my favorite foods. I hope this helps with options.
