Sick of oatmeal.

gottagetitoff11

Im getting sick of eating oatmeal for breakfast, i think I only eat it because it is considered "healthy".

What do you all have for breakfast. I need a change.

Thanks

I eat a variety of things, though lately it's been savory oatmeal (an egg and some spinach on top, for example).
Here's my thing: breakfast food is ANY food. The cereal folks have us thinking there are specific foods that are "breakfast foods".
Eat anything you like.

Try Farina (wheat) ... or cornmeal mush. ... Or, have some of your leftovers from yesterday.

My favorite breakfast is oatmeal made different ways ... sometimes with milk, othertimes with water; sometimes with an egg whisked into the water; sometimes with a 4 ounce apple chopped in and cooked along with the oats; or half a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter. The trick is to not eat the same oatmeal every day because that does get boring.

If I'm not having a whole grain for my break fast meal, I'll usually go for eggs with whatever sides I desire to cook up.

Egg whites & a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, yum!

You don't have to go plain oatmeal. You can make banana/oatmeal cookies and eat them for breakfast. You can also make pancakes with oatmeal. Of course oats are not the only thing you can eat. It depends on your preferences. I, myself, could eat oatmeal morning, noon, night. I change up what I put in it. I use to like also egg white omelets with spinach and a little cheese with a piece of toast. A big bowl of fruits with nuts and seeds in it with yogurt if you eat dairy. PB and J on whole wheat is also a winner.

ACSelkie

millet, teff, quinoa cooked in coconut water for some sweetness or spice it up with cinnamon,nutmeg ect.. Arrow head mills makes a puffed miller and a puffed brown rice for mornings you are in a hurry... scrambled tofu with some turnip,sweet potato or parsnip hash browns on the weekend...

Eat something else. I actually don't like oatmeal at ALL when I'm trying to lose or maintain weight. So calorie dense and not filling.

I like low sugar Greek yogurt topped with some fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and/or blackberries. A light drizzle of honey and sliced almonds.

I made some 100 calorie blueberry muffins. Im not a big muffin fan, but these are really good and you can grab a few for breakfast for a break from oatmeal.
1 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c white sugar
1 tsp ground cinamon
1/3 c applesauce
1/3 c skim milk
1tsp vanilla
1egg
1-2 c blueberries
Mix dry and wet separatly, then combine. Batter will be very thick, dont overmix. Make 16 muffin ( barely stretches so dont fill too full)
Bake on 400 for 15-20 min

I eat based on how I feel that morning. Some days cereal, others French Toast or pancakes and eggs, sometimes oatmeal, protein powder smoothie when I'm in a hurry, yesterday was a banana with peanut butter, sometimes I grab a muffin and a piece of cheese and eat on the way. All of these fit nicely within my calories and help meet my goals.

I eat traditional things like oatmeal, eggs, yogurt, but I also just eat leftovers: this morning I had my coffee and a protein drink, exercised, after stretch/shower/dress, I had boneless chicken with parsley & lemon, steamed green beans, tsp of EVVO, and a banana. All but the EVVO and banana was leftover.

Try nutrigrain blue berry waffles by ego. Put on fruit and add a egg as side

I make batches of steel-cut oatmeal (much better than the ubiquitous Quaker rolled or instant variety) and eat that with egg or honey. Sometimes add a protein shake. Otherwise, my most frequent breakfasts are

• Rice and eggs - 1/2 cup of cooked Calrose rice with 3 eggs on top. I like mine over medium, mix it all up. Throw on some chopped green onion or whatever floats your boat.
• Homemade sausage McMuffin - Al Fresco chicken sausage patty, an egg, a slice of some type of cheese, and a toasted english muffin. I can make these in about 5 minutes and they are awesome.
• Parisian ham and egg street crepes - http://bakingbites.com/2009/08/french-ham-cheese-and-egg-crepes-step-by-step/ Making a batch of these takes about an hour but, if you pour thin crepes, will make 10-12 and the calorie count is in the mid 300 range (depending, again, on how thick your crepes are). These are delicious right out of the pan and are a family weekend favorite. Freeze the rest individually in gallon ziploc bags. When ready to eat, throw it on a plate, nuke it for 2 minutes. Delicious!

dutchandkiwi

usually yoghurt with fruits, a few nuts and a few oats

I eat leftovers from the night before, sandwiches, toast with eggs & bacon, Greek yogurt with protein powder & granola, high fiber wrap with ground beef and cheese....whatever I'm in the mood for.

Annie_01

My go to breakfast is a peanut butter and banana sandwich.

I also make egg/turkey bacon/spinach/cheese muffins. They are only 76 calories each so I can have 2 of those plus a pumpkin/zucchini muffin for around 300 calories.

Actually...I eat just about anything for breakfast as long as it is around 300 calories.

Sometimes a shake...sometimes an omelet with veggies. I have even eaten leftovers from the night before.

I also make an oatmeal/peanut butter muffin that is really good.

I don't like just plan oatmeal but I like it as an ingredient in recipes.

This morning I had romaine lettuce wraps.
3 leafs of lettuce -10cal
3 turkey bacon -105 cal
1 tbs of ranch between all 3 -70 cal
8 cherry tomatoes halved -32 cal
1 sargento light string cheese -50 cal

Split all this up into 3 "tacos" but using the lettuce as the shell. I cut the string cheese into 3 strips. Total calories =267 calories.

I should have stuck with two. 3 was too much and made me nauseous.

Bacon and eggs one piece of toast. The other day we had some crab leg left over, DW put it in an omelet! Worth just buying crab for that.

Mattatooi

Overnight oats; Oats, Fage Greek Yoghurt, frozen rasberries, 1x protein scoop and some milk. Chuck in a jar that has a lid, and shake shake shake. Chuck in the fridge overnight. In morning i put a tiny amount of honey in it, and its yum.

JeromeBarry1

Variety. I make sure to have variety on the weekends different from the week days, and lately even wanted some variety on the weekdays. If you

Other than that, I would also have quick turkey steaks (from tesco in UK, takes 6-8mins under grill), with some scrambled egg, any vegtable (usually brocolli) and a slice of wholemeal toast. I then usually add a tiny bit of some sort of sauce to dip. A chilli type sauce. Only talking about 15g of it. Works for me

When I get sick of a food I've found it's because I failed to get enough variety in my diet. I suggest a project of seven, ten, or thirty days to have a different breakfast every morning. You may find that your love affair may return. Or not. At least you will have a whole bunch of options afterwards. Here are some suggestions.

1. Do an international tour. I suggest you at least try a Norwegian and a Chinese breakfast.
2. Eat a different colour every day. Like an all orange breakfast with carrots and oranges, an all purple with blueberries and an all red with strawberries and beef tartare.
3. Do something different with eggs daily.
4. Alternate between a cereal dish, an egg based dish, a wrap, a muffin, pancake, and a smoothie.
5. Go to a Bulk Barn and pick up five grains or beans you have never tried then look up a recipe. I found out my favourite way to prepare mung beans is to sprout them.
6. Solicit suggestions from the board print them and put them in a jar. Whatever you pick you must try the next day.

Try a slice of cheese pizza or Easy Mac. Both very easy, healthy and tasty.

So much this. I am a cold cereal hater since forever, so even when I was a kid (when it seemed everyone was expected to eat cereal) I'd eat a bunch of different fast things, including leftovers from other meals. I do like oatmeal now (particularly savory) and am currently on an egg kick, but even so I've had a couple of breakfasts in the past week based on leftover cold roasted chicken and avocado.

This morning I had lentil and vegetable soup and part of a bear claw, then a whey protein drink.

scorpiophoenix

I have a cup of coffee and every now and then I'll grab a package of cinnamon donuts from the gas station. Unless my mom grabs a strawberry danish for me at the German bakery. *drools* Then that's breakfast.

amusedmonkey

Well, sometimes I just have coffee and a couple of digestive biscuits (or just coffee), other times it's a feast of of multiple items. Yesterday it was savory crepes (meat and mushrooms) with a little bit of sour cream. I have them in the freezer so all I need to do is take them out and toss them around in a skillet with a little bit of butter for a few minutes to warm them up and make them crispy. Today it's just coffee, I think, I don't feel particularly hungry. Fridays are typically hummus, falafel, fava beans, eggs, cheese, luncheon meats, tomatoes and cucumbers, Greek yogurt, olive oil, zaatar, olives, all eaten with pita bread and sweet tea. These are hard to log, so I just pick 2-4 items and make small pita sandwiches. Sometimes I have leftovers for breakfast, and yes sometimes I have oatmeal. You don't have to eat oatmeal every day if you don't want to.

Eating oatmeal isn't the most healthy.... I actually feel guilty and indulgent when I have oatmeal.

I would think an omelet with some bell peppers and onions would serve your body better.

What is it that you find unhealthy about oatmeal? I don't eat just a bowl of oatmeal but I do add it to muffins and shakes. What is it that you find indulgent...is it the oatmeal or the things that you add to the oatmeal?

Egg whites with spinach and cheese, throw some salsa on top. English muffin on the side.

of course, yesterday I ate a doughnut. Darn Farmer's Market!
