    pad thai!

    By which I mean, why think only of "breakfast foods"? Just 'cause it's morning doesn't mean you can't have fish or salad or whatever.

    1 c. blueberries
    25g granola (Tesco Nut Granola)

    overnight oats. Make them the night before, I use 40grm of oats, 100 mls of almond milk and halfl a teaspoon of cinnamon. Stick it all in a bowl, mix it up and pop it in the fridge til morning. About 170 cals.
    Sometimes I add raisins, or chopped apple (add that in the morning)

    -I love 1 c cheerios with 1/2 c skim milk and some fruit (1/2 c berries, 1 banana, fresh peach, or 1/4 c craisins if I don't have fresh fruit). It's about 220 calories, more or less depending on the fruit.
    -Also Frosted Mini Wheats, 1 c + 1/2 c skim milk is about 250 calories (or plain shredded wheat with fruit).
    -Instant oatmeal is less than 200 calories per packet. I often add 1-2 Tbsp powdered milk before stirring in the water. 1min in the microwave :)
    -Boil eggs in advance and keep them in the fridge. 2 eggs are about 150 calories. Grab a Greek 100 Yoplait and you are at 250.

    If you're following "clean eating" or Paleo, these may not fit your ideals. But if you're going from a SlimFast shake, they are good alternatives :wink:

    Can do this with greek yogurt instead of the milk too for more protein.

    The OP has had 3 years to figure out what to eat for breakfast, so it's probably not helping at this point.

    Doh! I hate it when I miss that it's a lazarus thread :(

    It may be a three year old thread, but the information is still good to have!

    My personal favorites for busy weekday mornings include:
    1 frozen waffle with TBSP peanut butter
    Rice cake with peanut butter
    Hardboiled egg w/ piece of fruit
    Greek yogurt w/ 2x protein
    Cream of wheat packet for a warm breakfast
    Alternative bagel w/ cream cheese
    Cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes (favorite!)

    For weekends I like 3 pieces of Canadian bacon with 6 TBSP of liquid eggs cooked up and topped with a TBSP of fresh salsa.

    Mix one cup of greek yogurt, one tablespoon of peanut butter and one packet of stevia in the raw-wonderful high protein mix that is 235 calories. Great for a boost of protein to keep you full!
