Filling breakfast ideas.....

Qbaimee

Hey ya'll!
I am looking for new breakfast ideas that will keep me full until lunchtime or after (for several hours).

What do you eat for breakfast?

I've been cooking up a zuchinni, half an onion, and two eggs for a scramble lately. If I don't have that I have Greek yogurt with berries.

2% Cottage cheese (1 cup) and Pineapple (12 ounces worth) hold me over pretty good and they have around 350 calories.

Oatmeal and fruit is always a good filler.

Lately I’ve been doing 2 eggs and an English muffin with some butter. I find this to keep me full until lunch. I tried oatmeal as it’s quite low cal high volume but it didn’t fill me as well.

How many calories do you have to work with? The question is pointless without a target.

I have 2 options I usually go for - but in order for me t be full until lunchtime I need to eat a TONNE of food.

1) Oats. Usually as a porridge - oats, almond milk, chia or sunflower seeds, cinnamon. cook it. add scoop of protein powder to the bowl and pour in cooked porridge (don't cook the protein powder). Then I add fruit. Apple or berries, or both, or stone fruit - whatever - depends how much I need to eat on that particular day. Sometimes I add peanut butter. Or even a square of dark choc. This concoction can range from mid 300s in calories to well above 500. Depends on quantities.

Option 2 of oats - oats, whole eggs or egg whites, protein powder or peanut butter powder, seeds. mix it and cook like a pancake. Top with honey, Greek yoghurt, fruit. Peanut butter if you like too. Same calorie range as above.

2) Eggs. I will eat 2-3 eggs, 2 wholegrain toast, cheese, and peanut butter. Again - calories will depend on how much I want/need to eat. If I need less calories I remove the cheese.

My current favorite is steel cut oatmeal with unsweetened coconut flakes and a tbsp of mini chocolate chips.

The breakfast I eat that I find most filling is a tofu scramble wrap in a normal sized tortilla.
The scramble is tofu, bits of roasted red pepper, black olives, nutritional yeast, turmeric and thyme. Prepared the night before. In the morning I add spinach and hummus to the wrap, and grill it in a panini press (this is just preference).

@wilson10102018 the question is "what do you eat for breakfast?" Your comment is pointless if you don't read the the post

Thank you all for the amazing ideas! I am going to try a few.

I eat a trail mix of almonds, granola, and roasted edamame.

i have oatmeal almost everyday. I'm usually in a big rush in the mornings so i go for the packaged stuff but the one i buy is actually steel cut and has quite a bit less sugar than the quaker stuff. I LOVE it! Keeps me full for a few hours at least and its pretty dang low calorie. On the weekends my go-to is a piece of toast and an egg!

I have a few oatmeal variations I do almost every morning.
40g oats
8g chia seeds
cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and liquid stevia
about 3/4 cup water.
chopped up granny smith apple (180g)
mix it all up and microwave it all for a minute. Then I add in 40-50g egg whites and microwave and stir for 3 45 second intervals, sometimes an extra 30 seconds after, or until it’s all thick and dry. It can keep me full until dinner if I need it to, and the drier it is, the more filling it feels.

About 300-350 calories depending on the size of the apple and how precisely I measure.

Sometimes I’ll do the oatmeal,chia, and egg whites with cocoa powder and cherries, or frozen berries, or pb2 and bananas.

I used to skip the chia seeds but my diet was really low in fat and I found I felt so much fuller and more satisfied if I added the extra 50 or so calories. Plus once they soak up the water, I get a lot more volume of food.

@lucadeangiles thank you for that information. I have heard that about chia seeds. May be trying that out as well.

I am burned out on a lot of breakfast foods but one thing I love and is healthy and satisfying is avocado toast. I use a single slice of healthy whole-grain or wheat toast, top with cottage cheese and 1/4 avocado. If I have tomato, I add that as well. It's very filling and very delicious! Thanks for all of the other suggestions here as well!

chia and egg whites make all the difference! Plain oats will keep me satisfied for a couple hours but add some protein and fat and I’m good all day

I eat twice a day, most of my calories go to breakfast. I really just eat a bunch of food. 4 to 6 eggs, bunch of bacon, salmon, chicken breast, avocado, butter, ground beef, cheese, tons of green vegetables, etc. The only things I don't eat is grains and sugar (including fruit). No prepackaged foods or snacks, diet this or low fat that. Keeps me satisfied and the weight keeps dropping.
