    My breakfast on work days varies between the meals below

    1. 1/2-3/4 cup 0% plain greek yogurt (would be full fat but can only find 0% plain where I live), 1/2-3/4 cup nature's path granola or 3 tbsps hemp hearts, and fruit; either 1/2 cup canned nectarines (canned by me so no sugar or extra light syrup) or whatever fruit is in season (cherries, plums, peaches/nectarines, apples etc). Amounts vary depending on how hungry I am as I am not an eat in the morning person but I have to eat before work as I work 12 hour shifts and may not get a break for a long time depending on how busy it is.
    2. Quick cooking steel cut oats, 1/4 cup dry, made with water or milk plus fruit (same as above). Sometimes add nuts.
    3. Hard boiled eggs with slice of whole grain toast. Piece of fruit

    I usually don't eat for four to six hours after breakfast at work and this tides me over for that long. If I need a snack, I have nuts, cheese, fruit, cut up veggies, hard boiled egg for something quick to eat in between meals.

    Days off breakfast (really usually brunch) is some combination of eggs, over easy or poached or soft boiled or scrambled or omelet, toast or english muffin or fried potatoes, maybe bacon or sausage and maybe cheese depending on what is made. I don't always eat lunch on days off, depending on what time breakfast is.

    Most days includes a coffee with milk.

    I am usually in a hurry for breakfast time, so I do a protein mix. I have been using a GNC brand. I do two scoops, skim milk and sometimes I add in a banana or greek yogurt. This usually keeps me full until lunch. If I do get hungry, I will usually snack on edamame or greek yogurt.

    I have been doing smoothies lately. I'm not super hungry in the morning and it helps me hit a good chunk of my fiber for the day. Today's smoothie contained...

    1 scoop chocolate delight FitMiss protein powder
    1.5 cup unsweetened almond vanilla milk
    1 tbsp sugar free fiber powder
    1.5 cup unsweetened frozen strawberries
    big handful of spinach
    .5 cup non-fat plain chobani greek yogurt

    I usually have 2 scrambled eggs with a bit of cheese or a fruit smoothie with yogurt, or some whole grain cereal if I'm feeling too lazy to put something together.

    Protein should be part of every meal if you're looking for weight loss, so I have a protein smoothie daily. 1/2 cup of unsweetened cashew or almond milk, 1/2 banana, I cup other fruit (I like frozen berries because it makes my smoothie cold and thick) 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup probiotic yogurt. Ta-Dah! Keeps me full, gives me tons of energy, and I can whip it up in about a minute.

    So what...are we substituting subjective opinion on what works for us for objective fact that is a requirement for weightloss in general? Sounds fun. Alright then based on what happens to work for me from here on out bacon is required for weightloss people. Remember, bacon must be part of every breakfast. Bacon and eggs, bacon gouda breakfast sandwiches, bacon on toast, or just a plate of bacon.

    Soft Boiled egg with toast. Every week day. And often will pack yogurt with berries for an early morning snack after I get to work- consider it an extension of my breakfast. On the weekends-Omelets:)

    Lately I've been having 3 pcs of veggie bacon, cucumber, and tomato on a philly roll with mayo, a cheese stick and coffee...or 3 eggs, 3-4 bacon and 1-2 'chicken' tenders with green tabasco

    A cup of tea with half and half when I get up, and another mid morning. I start eating around 1-1:30. On the weekends, that second cup is a Starbucks latte.
