What do you eat for Breakfast?

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 am a yogurt eater. Just found stonyfid 0% greek,,,, it has 23 grams of protein per cup. I add fruit and I'm done. I do aim but they also have a vanilla that tastes better

Just water. Fasting at the moment.

Since it's been on the hot side. I been having smoothies, or egg muffins, yogurt, fruit , some times waffles and cereal. Just depends how I feel that day

some of my favorite oatmeal recipes are:
- oatmeal with frozen blueberries and plant-based milk
- oatmeal with pb2 and plant-based milk
- oatmeal with egg whites!
- oatmeal with seeds, plant-based milk, and fruit

or:
- toast with pb2, banana, and cacao chips
- toast with avocado
- protein shake

I usually eat oatmeal with fresh blueberries, a splash of vanilla extract and some cinnamon. Sometimes I'll eat Siggi plain yogurt with fresh berries and Bear Naked original cinnamon granola

I just finished prepping my work week's breakfasts & lunches. All the breakfasts are the same. Rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, a pinch of cinnamon and sweetener. They are bagged up and will go to the office with me. I don't eat them until later in the morning. Sometimes I will swap out the type of nut or fruit for the week.

Usually I have eggs and toast with turkey sausage or bacon. This morning I had two slices of leftover Pizza Hut. Yum.

LonniJay

2 egg omelettes with LOTS of veggies, ham and Munster cheese. Yum! Also black coffee with stevia and low sodium v8.

I have an electric pressure cooker and I cook one pound of dry beans in six cups of water with 1 - 2 tablespoons salt. I eat one cup cooked which is actually 2 servings. It is 180 - 240 calories for that 2 servings. I drink 2 cups, 16 oz, hot tea sweetened with a teaspoon of lemon juice and stevia or Splenda. I take a Flinstones chewable.

The 1 lb of dry beans is enough for 12 servings or 6 servings if you double the portion even though the package says 13 or 14 servings. I switch between pinto, kidney, lima, navy or northern, split peas, lentils, turtle or black, and black eyed peas to keep from getting bored with the flavor of one variety.

They are filling, high protein, high carbs, high fiber, and zero fat and that prepares my right for not overeating the rest of the day.

I store them using an air tight Tupperware style container in a fridge that is kept as cold as it can keep without freezing any of the contents. Because cold air sinks that means to keep things in the crisper and bottom shelfs from freezing you'll need the temperature a bit higher on the top shelves so organize accordingly. Because I eat beans for lunch too I am done with a pound in 3 days but they will keep 6 days refrigerated too.

@JAGrogan So you eat beans for breakfast and lunch, every day?
Do you add any seasoning besides some cooking salt?
Do you share a cubicle, or work alone?

I like beans, a magical fruit. I just have never tried them with that frequency.

I eat porridge, just the instant sachet ones 2 minutes and it's ready. Seems to keep me going for quite a while

I agree. Had some for a few days earlier this month.

overnight oats- i make up a batch of 4 or 5 servings in jars and pop them in the fridge- zap in the microwave for a minute and your done. favourites are carrot cake overnight oats (almond milk, vanilla, grated carrot, a few raisins, vanilla, nutmeg and some greek yoghurt) etc. Do some googling and you will find hundreds with no added artificial sugars which are high in protein.

My new favorite *Easy* breakfast:

lightly grease muffin tin, line each cup with a slice of ham
add any veggies you like! (I like a little salsa, too!)
pour 1-2 egg whites on top
Sprinkle with cheese or spices
bake at 375 for about 10 mins

I make a dozen or so on Sunday, and keep them in the fridge, ready to grab, microwave, and go! also great post-work out snack

animatorswearbras

Peanut butter & strawberry jam on wholegrain toast and a cup of tea with SS milk & half a sugar is my usual. I'm not that hungry on a morning but this is super quick and keeps me going till lunch.

rhinestoneradio

I make my own iced caramel macchiatos at home and work on it throughout the morning (I am the world's slowest drinker). If I finish before noon, I'll have a glass of water or an apple or something. I tend to worry about running out of calories at the end of the day so I like to have 1,000 left after work.

Jadedinosaur

Fruit and fibre (cereal) 40g with Semi-skimmed milk (~100-ml) - this is not a lot of protein breakfast but I like it so I thought I'd include it

or

1x bacon rasher, 2-3x mushrooms, 1x scrambled egg - I grill the bacon and mushrooms together and use a little plastic thing for eggs in the microwave - means I need no oil and it comes out how I like it.

I pretty much switch between them. Sometimes I might change it if I buy a bag of bagels or some bread (e.g. bacon and mushroom or egg and mushroom bagel, or scrambled egg on a slice of toast). I always also have a big coffee with milk (~50ml) and sugar (~3tsps).

megomerrett

A banana most days is all. Keeps me full.

heiliskrimsli

Daily, 20 oz of black coffee.

Race day or run longer than 8 miles, 40g steel cut oatmeal (uncooked weight) cooked in water, mixed with 4g brown sugar, 14g walnuts, 20g raisins.

I love Dave's Killer Bread!

Smoked salmon on Dave's Killer Bread, with or without avocado.

cozytimes

usually oatmeal, eggs, or a shake

deetails26

I love Kodiak Cakes banana muffins, packed with protein and easy to eat on the go. I make a batch on Sunday and eat them through the week.

earthangel8skyqueen

Take 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread or a nice Sprouted Whole Grain. You can then add 1.) sausage+egg-whites 2.) Acocado+Sriracha 3.) Pb2 or reg PB 3.) Greek Yogurt+BalsamicVin

Emily3907

My usual is two pieces of bacon, 2 eggs and a starch (roasted potatoes, toast or a biscuit).

Sometimes I do a protein shake, waffles with berries or oatmeal.

kcmsmith0405

Plain Greek yogurt with some milk (to thin it out), protein powder and fresh fruit. I make it the night before and add the fruit before I leave. It tastes a lot like chocolate mousse when it sits overnight.

Beautywalk

Two slices of Trader Joe's 7 grain sprouted bread toasted, with ~ 1 Tbsp reduced fat Kerry Irish butter and lots of cinnamon with stevia powder (pure stevia). It's a quick and filling 200 calories, 8 net carbs, and 10 protein. Occasionally I microwave a couple of eggs with precooked Wellshire chicken apple sausages. Weekends I make french toast with the uber low carb bread and use sugar free maple syrup.

janjunie

A cup of coffee, if I have to get up really early then I have two cups of coffee.

roperrocky

Greek yogurt, banana, fresh berries and protein powder smoothie

fitzmonkey13

I usually do a high protein smoothie (pasteurized egg whites, almond milk, greek yogurt, oatmeal, fruit). I make it the night before while prepping lunches so in the morning I just have to give it a bit of a shake and go. If I have time, I'll add a slice of toast or something I've baked and frozen like a pancake or apple crisp. If I'm taking breakfast to go, half of one of my protein bars. (I love my smoothie but if I don't have something to chew, it's not a meal to me.)

Oh, and COFFEE.

Timbur_Wolf

3 slices of wheat toast, 3 eggs, 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of Yogurt. And I sip on a protein shake while cooking the eggs. Every...damn...day...
