What's for breakfast?

I had some vanilla Greek yogurt with granola and two frozen waffles with ricotta, honey and strawberries (and a tiny bit of sugar).

I frequently have to eat breakfast on the go... so I do a lot of breakfast bars. they have an oatmeal peanut butter soft bake I like and a sweet and salty peanut one...

I've been eating vanilla Greek yogurt with a little fig butter mixed in lately. Sometimes I cut up fruit and add it in, or top it with some sesame-crusted almonds.

This morning I had:
- 4 cups of Raisin Bran cereal
- 4 slices of Orowheat multigrain buttertop bread

Yes greek yogurt topped with granola and fruit if you want is a solid choice. I get lost looking at the great granola selections in stores now so I've been trying a few (curently have bear naked brand which has multiple flavors). Just like a smoothie you can add or subtract ingridients based on the macs you want to hit. I even add protein powder and spices to it like pumpkin spice or cinnamin or those pudding mixes will work as well.


Another breakfast item i like is protein waffles topped with fruit and agave. very versitle too.

Someone previously mentioned muesli and I've seen it in other posts. I saw some in the store and had that for breakfast this morning (bob's red mill old country style which has grains and nuts and raisins in it very tasty). Worth trying to change things up a bit.

I make a gluten free pizza for breakfast - the earlier in the day I eat my calories the easier it is to stay in maintenance while eating whatever I want. I obviously don't have to run out to work early though, lol.
I like to eat non traditional stuff for breakfast... after all in other countries they eat the kinds of foods we save for dinner, like fish & rice with veg, etc.

QUOTE from International Journal of Obesity April 2013 study
"Objective:

To evaluate the role of food timing in weight-loss effectiveness in a sample of 420 individuals who followed a 20-week weight-loss treatment.


Methods:

Participants (49.5% female subjects; age (mean±s.d.): 42±11 years; BMI: 31.4±5.4 kg m−2) were grouped in early eaters and late eaters, according to the timing of the main meal (lunch in this Mediterranean population). 51% of the subjects were early eaters and 49% were late eaters (lunch time before and after 1500 hours, respectively), energy intake and expenditure, appetite hormones, CLOCK genotype, sleep duration and chronotype were studied.


Results:

Late lunch eaters lost less weight and displayed a slower weight-loss rate during the 20 weeks of treatment than early eaters (P=0.002). Surprisingly, energy intake, dietary composition, estimated energy expenditure, appetite hormones and sleep duration was similar between both groups. Nevertheless, late eaters were more evening types, had less energetic breakfasts and skipped breakfast more frequently that early eaters (all; P<0.05). CLOCK rs4580704 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with the timing of the main meal (P=0.015) with a higher frequency of minor allele (C) carriers among the late eaters (P=0.041). Neither sleep duration, nor CLOCK SNPs or morning/evening chronotype was independently associated with weight loss (all; P>0.05).


Conclusions:

Eating late may influence the success of weight-loss therapy. Novel therapeutic strategies should incorporate not only the caloric intake and macronutrient distribution—as is classically done—but also the timing of food."
