    I just want to address the oatmeal thing with everyone saying it's unsatisfying. I actually find it super satisfying and on a smaller portion than most eat. I do make mine with milk (not full fat) so that may make a difference but maybe not. And I make it sweet so no adding in protein like eggs. So again, this is totally personal.

    Me too. A serving of oatmeal with milk & a cup of berries keeps me satisfied for a long time, even just using the 40g that constitutes an actual serving instead of the 1/2 cup listed as a serving size (hint: they're not the same ;) ) Occasionally, if I know it's going to be a particularly long/busy morning, I'll supplement with an 80 calorie Greek yogurt or an egg.

    Exactly.

    I really feel for the OP.

    Yes, it's way better with milk.


    I also add bananas and honey, but I only eat it on days w/ long bike rides.

    Ha, I'm the same, I only eat breakfast on workout days (IF the other days generally) and I add banana or dried fruit and honey. Oh and cinnamon.

    Yes, oatmeal is great for some like my DH. For others like me, oatmeal does not satisfy hunger. I find that bacon and eggs, slice wheat toast works for me.

    Agreed. I have always made mine with skim milk. Oatmeal is probably THE most satisfying thing that I can eat, for breakfast. Definitely personal preference.

    Watch out for that smoothie. That thing can be packing some serious calories, carbs and sugar.
