What do you eat for Breakfast?

cathleete

I'm up at 5:30 am and have very little time to eat breakfast. My recent go to is a whole wheat English muffin, 2 egg whites, a slice of Canadian bacon and a slice of low fat American cheese. I know the bacon and cheese aren't great, and can do oatmeal, but can't eat without some kind of sugar. Protein is a necessity because I get too hungry if I don't get some. Remember- whatever it is, I have to be able to prepare quickly.

I don't eat anything... But you could do egg muffins/frittata (premade in bulk), yoghurt with protein powder & fruit/nuts/add ins, a smoothie... Dinner leftovers... Different sandwiches/wraps..

Instead of sugar in oatmeal, you could add protein powder - the sweetness/flavour negates the need for sugar,and you'd bump up the protein content

I have several go-to's:
1. Oatmeal with extra oat bran, flax seed, sliced almonds and a small handful of dried fruit. And 1/2 a cup of soy milk. Sometimes I weigh it all, sometimes I don't.
2. Toast with a slice of cheese and a hard fried egg
3. 5-6 oz plain yogurt with berries & truvia (stevia sweetener). Usually ~3 oz of berries.

On the weekends we splurge a little sometimes with waffles, pancakes, french toast or roast beef hash (vry high cal...must work it off @gym!).

I don't eat pig, but sometimes we will have beef or turkey bacon. Bern hearing about lamb bacon & am intrigued. I like to fry a slice of turkey ham on the griddle occasionally with my egg & cheese.

And VERY occasionally, I make cinnamon rolls. From scratch.

I had a sandwich of my homemade wheat bread with flax and chia seeds, 59 grams of bread, with 2 slices of fried bacon and an egg, with 10 grams of kale leaf. I garnished it with several drops of Tabasco sauce. It worked quite well together and I'm having black coffee now. The sandwich was 381 calories. It had 20 grams of protein.

Siggi Vanilla yogurt, dried apples (40 grams) and smokehouse almonds (28 grams) - highly portable and keeps me going until lunch.

Some cereal with fruit sliced in, or some salty and sweet oatmeal!

I normally do a bowl of oatmeal with honey and blueberries. I also eat it with 2 boiled eggs and hot sauce.

My typical breakfast is vanilla Greek yogurt with half a arriving of kashi go lean cereal mixed in. Some times some PB2 mixed in as well. I need something quick through the week and Greek yogurt fits that bill.

One scoop of raw meal (Garden of Life) with a cup of water and 1/4 of soaked oats in the Vitamix!

My go-to breakfast right now is a sandwich - two slices of 7 grains, sprouted bread, toasted, with a triangle of garlic herb light cheese spread, a fried egg and then a sprinkling of 'real' bacon bits (salad dressing isle, the'yre the bacon bits that taste like actual bacon). Comes together in less than 5 minutes and is really filling!

eta: comes in at around 235 calories

Peanut butter banana toast or a smoothie (:

Usually an over easy egg with a slice of whole wheat toast and a cup of coffee. I use butter for the egg and toast and sugar and milk in my coffee. Comes to about 300 calories. Then a few hours later ill have an Apple to hold me over until lunch if i get hungry.

Lately, I've been hooked on a breakfast version of a banana split! It's quick, easy, and easily keeps me satisfied until lunchtime. It seems like the perfect combination for me, with carbs, protein, fat, and a little sweet.

Breakfast Banana Split:
Slice banana lengthwise
Add 118g of 4% cottage cheese
Drizzle with 10g of real honey or 10g of preserves
Toast a slice of whole wheat bread, cut in 4ths. Place it around the banana.
Optional: add some chopped walnuts.

I think your breakfast is fine. Oatmeal seems healthier but it may not be the better choice. Oatmeal holds me for about 20 seconds, even with protein powder.

I personally have an egg or two, or egg whites with bran cereal.

Just a coffee with low fat milk and Splenda for me. I do most of my eating in the PM on weekdays

Great ideas! Thanks everyone!

STOP hating on bacon and cheese, that's just bigotry! Fat provides excellent satiety, like protein.

- peanut butter on quality bread slices, add a bit of honey for your sweet. This one is very fast and filling.

- batch of steel cut oats stored in the fridge and pre-measured into servings. Microwave for 2 min and throw some eggs or quick omelet on top. Drizzle some maple syrup on the oats for your sweet.

- Yogurt in a bunch of combinations or by itself
