    I mix 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh), 1 cup plain greek yogurt (I like Chobani) and 1/4 cup of plain rolled oats (uncooked). Very filling and holds me till lunch. I also like Special K Protein plus cereal.

    I usually have fruit in oatmeal and some toast! ( though I'm trying to cut down on bread lol)
    The oatmeal keeps me full until:happy: lunch time

    Peanut butter waffle or Peanut Butter toast and an orange. Or a bowl of Greek Yogurt with honey and celery and grapes. Or a taco meat filled omelette with a side of green beans. Or a bagel with cottage cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Or Hard boiled eggs and fresh fruit. - Have had those kinda things when ran out of protein powder but have replaced my breakfast with a protein shake cuz I tend to crave carbs then and thats my busiest time of day so usually make a Dymatize Elite XT shake with fresh fruit,Matcha Green Tea and Lactose Free Milk.

    bread is a big weakness of mine as well. It's easy, quick, tastes good, easy on my stomach, and is filling. bread for toast, bagels n cream cheese, garlic bread and with sandwiches. Need to get away from so much bread!!!

    I AM TRYING TO BUY ORGANIC, NO GMO'S, UNPROCESSED, MEAT, FISH, VEGETABLES, GROWN IN A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.

    Some healthier items I like as well, are:

    Oatmeal with fruit like blueberries, bananas, strawberries, raisins, cherries, or dates ( or a combination of these fruits) but then I fail because I load it with brown sugar. What is a HEALTHY NATURALsweetner, please?

    I also like a bowl of cottage cheese or fruit, with a little granola sprinkled on-top. strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, sliced dates, coconut, etc. It looks like a sundae ! lol

    Bacon (not crazy @ turkey bacon though) & eggs. Any-one got any ideas of a healthier good tasting replacement for the bacon?

    poached eggs on wheat toast.

    egg omelet. but I like cheese and onions in it. (But the cheese is fattening) any ideas for a replacement with the same creamy texture?

    Peanut butter on toast. yummy

    Greek yogurt.

    I like cold cereal, too. ? I usually buy Kashi or some kind of Bran. What are some great tasting healthy cold cereals?

    And, then I'm out of ideas. AND, I would like suggestions to improve my meals and get more ideas.

    I need help!

    How about you?

    Try Muesli. I cut up an apple and throw in the pot. Done in 5 minutes, very filling.

    what is Evoo mayonnaise, please?

    I like your idea of adding egg white to a whole egg in making an omelet to increase the protein. But as appetizing as the sauce sounds, my stomach doesn't handle real spicy very well, but I crave lot's of flavor. Any other ideas?.
    Eating just egg-whites never seemed appealing to me, but this recipe of 1 whole egg and 1 egg white sounds good. I am going to try this.

    My breakfasts are usually 4 scrambled egg whites (or 1 egg depending on how hungry i'm feeling) w/ sauteed veggies (mix of onions, bellpepper, mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach. Mostly 2-3 of them at one time) with either some corn tortillas or a serving of oatmeal.

    I want to by Protein Powder with no harmful additives, ALL NATURAL! I have only used Whey Protein Powder from Wal-Mart, but it has additives. I am looking for the best, least expensive Protein Powder with-out those additives. Any-one have any ideas?

    I used to make those all the time, using whole eggs. But I want to try this too, using 1 egg and 1 white. I got lazy or just plain forgot about my liking omelets. I haven't made one in a long, long time. Thanks for reminding me and suggesting the egg white.

    You have a bigger appetite than me! lol I could have the bacon and eggs OR the Waffle, but not BOTH! What do you put on your waffle? What do you think og Buckwheat pancakes. I find Multi-grain pancakes too heavy and I don't make waffles.

    You have a bigger morning appetite than me! I could eat just the eggs or the Oatmeal. Tortillas cause stomach problems for me. I am wondering how-ever, are you eating this combination for the reason of "pairing" which I know little about?

    EVOO - extra virgin olive oil.

    I have 1-2 eggs with 3-4 whites.

    And you can make the sauce taste how you like - I add chilli for heat, but also add paprika, cumin, coriander powder, fresh garlic and fresh coriander. You could add different herbs and spices depending on your tastes :)

    I'm in Aus and buy a locally available crap free protein (WPI and WPC) made from the milk of pasture fed cows with no added growth hormone or antibiotics. Maybe try ordering from true nutrition in the states? They have a good range

    Every morning Monday-Friday I have two pieces of whole grain toast and one hard boiled egg. It is delicious and keeps me full until my next meal...no need to snack. On Saturdays & Sundays I usually substitute the egg with two pieces of turkey bacon. Mmmmm....

    One of my MFP friends had this in her diary. I am going to do this one myself!

    Fresh 'n Nova - Black Olives Hummos
    Organic - Flour Tortilla, 1 tortilla 50g
    Whole Foods - Atlantic Smoked Salmon, 3 oz

    I love salmon for breakfast. Yes!

    I go in long stretches of eating the same thing then switch it up. Most breakfasts I make ahead and take into work to eat. I like to have protein in the morning. Over the past year I have done:

    Steel cut oatmeal with nut butter and/or fruit
    Paleo pancakes (2 eggs + 1 banana mashed together, usually add fruit or nut butter after warming in microwave)
    Hard boiled eggs + fruit
    Crustless quiche baked ahead with whatever meat/veggies I have on hand
    Chicken sausage with fruit
    Yogurt with granola and/or fruit

    It's typically oatmeal with peanut butter for me. I find the macro combination to be adequately filling until lunch!

    Pretty much every weekday morning: 6 oz plain greek yogurt, mix in 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1T PB2, 1T chia seeds. And if you make it the night before by morning it's like chocolate pudding. Pudding for breakfast? Uhhh, yes - please! Keeps me full for 4 hours easily, and helps me resist the donut temptations that show up at work every once in a while.

    I usually have a dannon light and fit greek yogurt. Occasionally, I will have Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal. Either one fills me up for a few hours.

    I have a couple of go to breakfasts during the week:

    -One serving of plain oatmeal with cinnamon and fruit added (sometimes a banana which makes it taste like warm banana bread, in the summer blueberries are great in there, or a chopped apple is super yummy)

    -One serving of plain yogurt with 1/2 cup of chopped berries and topped with some honey nut o's for crunch

    -Whole wheat English muffin topped with peanut butter and a sliced banana (this is one of my favorites- super filling and has a great combo of fat, protein, and carbs to keep me full)

    -Whole wheat English muffin with a scrambled egg patty with spinach and feta mixed in (similar to the Starbucks wrap but made at home- I make the egg the night before and wrap in the fridge to reheat in the morning)

    Omelettes
    Pancakes with fruit toppings
    Porridge with mixed fruit or sprinkled cinnamon
    Fruit with greek yoghurt
    Runny eggs with brown seeded bread
    Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs

    Today I just had jam with seeded brown bread - Trying to have a break from the porridge as I have been obsessed with it lately.

    Peanut butter and porridge is my fav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You can freeze the paleo pancakes and then heat them in the microwave?
